I’m a little surprised he _had_ $25 million to spend on this futile effort. That suggests his overall fortune is (I’m guessing) $100 million or more? That much from a boring commodity product like pillows? ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > I’m a little surprised he _had_ $25 million to spend on this futile effort. That suggests his overall fortune is (I’m guessing) $100 million or more?

A large percentage of people who made money in the California Gold Rush did so not by mining for gold, but by selling supplies to the people who were mining. ---
