Not every smart investment starts with a pitch deck or a business plan. Some of the best returns come from personal bets founders make with their own money. We pulled together five that actually paid off – big. From a $10K angel check that became $1.2M, to flipping a beach house for a $2M profit, and mining Bitcoin before it was cool.
Here’s what we talk about:
- The overlooked angel check that quietly turned into a seven-figure exit
- Flipping a beachfront property for millions (plus cash flow along the way)
- Mining Bitcoin in a basement – and finding millions on an old hard drive
- Geo-arbitrage: the founder who 3x’d his wealth just by moving to Colombia
- Buying small businesses instead of starting new ones
- Mobile home parks, domain names, and other unexpected wins
- Common patterns behind the biggest personal money wins
