#64214 Get-Rich-Quick Schemes

[Digit]

Re: Question 64214 Not sure if this totally fits the mold, since it'd be hard for a really poor person to do, since it involves manufacturing tangible goods, but a guy got a design patent for a solar light bulb, something people have joked about since I was in grade school, and started a company in which poor people buy inventory from them and become dealers in their own rural regions.

I have no data to support this, but I'd strongly suspect that the amount of income to the company from speculative investors and venture capitalists vastly exceeds the amount of income to the company from actual customers buying light bulbs to resell in their own networks.
