How 8 Overnight Millionaires Made Their Money

foreign [Music] this is a boat of a beverage I will say that this is a workout this is a five pounder yeah we're gonna get a workout and a zipper with this one but this is the show where two friends who happen to be money experts talk about what you're talking about everything from pop culture current events and money and today we are talking about overnight millionaires people who actually got a huge sum of money instantaneously and it changed their lives for better and worse which we'll get to yeah like could you imagine like going to Rome like for a school trip or something and then you're mistaken as like a pop star but it's like Lizzie McGuire oh I was like where is she going with this it's Elizabeth McGuire reference no shock there yeah or uh more my speed pulling a Jordan Belfort uh Wolf of Wall Street yeah if you will and going from entry level Wall Street guy to millionaire in less than five years all the way up yep and some Jen's ears out there you know maybe the treasure hunting teens on Outer Banks we're hip to it those vibes the writers fill us in on what's happening on Netflix we know we know the lingo we're so unaware it's sad but there's some cultural references and some real life references to people that become millionaires overnight but for most of us uh it's it's not in the cards we will not be overnight millionaires but we can teach you how to reach millionaire status in many many nights which is still awesome but we can all get there we're gonna get you there by the end so stick around to find out how yeah and we are sipping on a what George today this is a I can't even say the name seriously it's a strawberry mint summer sparkler so happy why is it a summer sparkler I don't know already I'm gonna just say it's delicious yeah so stick around to the end we're going to give you the recipe the highly coveted recipe that's right okay uh so let's give a little background on this George that's a good idea yeah they may be new because you've been sharing this with your friends now the friends are listening they're like who's George and Rachel yeah who is this so so George and I work at Ramsey Solutions and we talk about money this is like the main part of our job so it's everything from the Ramsey Show co-host that with our other rooms and personalities we write books we have uh YouTube shows and podcasts and all that so like one of our big goals is helping people get control of their money and as we say on the Rachel Cruise show and create a life you love but the idea is getting in control of your finances so they're Building Wealth yeah it's getting out of debt budgeting saving investing being able to retire and actually have money uh all of that so the idea of Building Wealth is a key part too of our message so this felt like a good subject and we want you to do it wisely that's the key here and wisely uh looks a lot like the tortoise versus the hair so you got to do this slow and today we're kind of covering the other side of that we're crazy stories of people who did it really quickly but as you will find out it's not all sunshine and rainbows I know that's what's a little tough about this is sometimes you know if you just are handed a bunch of money and you don't know how to handle it well things can go a little sideways George so and that can happen you know for the record we are both net worth Millionaires and uh you know it's it's not something that I thought was ever possible for me and so I want to be the Everyman showing you guys how to get there by the end and Rachel and I will share kind of our path to uh to getting there yep that's right so again this is not uh the way we teach it is not a get rich quick type of mentality it's very much a long-term play changing your habits it's who you're becoming in the process too so this is not an overnight thing long-term play a very Eat Pray Love of you I like that thanks it's about the journey so the path to wealth we found is actually pretty boring but it works and we're going to reveal that path towards the end and but in the meantime let's have a little fun do it for the plot as the kids say do it for the plot yep so we're gonna you know look at the wildest overnight millionaire stories that we could find this is everything from like inheritance scandals to pension payment stealing games and scams yeah there is a lot so again uh we may be boring when it comes to our uh advice but what we're about to dive into George is anything but prepare your hearts let's react to some of the most outrageous overnight millionaire stories George all right let's start with the GameStop stock surge that's a tongue twister right there yes this was a big thing some of y'all heard about this but in January of 2021 a group of small investors on Reddit collectively decided to inflate the value of GameStop stocks and they do that like Buy in together and like Drive the price up yeah it's kind of like if we all decided to like go to Target at the same time thousands of people then that did this I mean it was like it was a huge Community called Wall Street bets it's a subreddit Community very nerdy too much information for Rachel but an entire Community all at once was like Hey guys let's screw the rich people yeah and let's all go by this song work and it drives the stock price up it drives the stock price up so they wanted to take a stand against the one percent and it kind of worked GameStop stock value went from 18 a share to 380 a share in a matter of weeks yeah and Keith Gill the man who helped inspired the inflation he lost over the 13 million dollars in the end so at the record high gills return increased more than two thousand percent to 33 million dollars and he lost 13 million by the end so he was up to 33 million then down because he didn't cash out um you can do a lot of stupid things when it comes to investing like you know options trading margin trading all these crazy things all this stuff you're basically you can leverage debt to invest then if it doesn't work out you're now in this sure totally so who knows what happened there but that is frightening and some people did make money the problem is all the people that were like oh I gotta go make money but it was too late they were like way on the tail end of it that's right they missed they missed the spike yeah it's like me getting to skinny jeans I was just that was too late and now it's already gone and now it's good hey look I actually had I know well no I I found these back there I haven't worn these in a long time but here they are I'm back with this 2007 Rachel is back but bling in shoes for the old uh wealthy millionaires it's abrasive to say the least but I thank you for that that's a crazy story so that yeah the the lesson learned there is uh I don't follow the trends okay are you ready for the next one dog inherits 12 million dollars from owner George this is something I aspire to that I will have 12 million dollars you're about to get my first child human child and I feel like she's gonna she's gonna rank above the old dogs and The Inheritance the child can figure out how to make income my dog can't do that so I feel like if you're gonna leave money to something I can be the dogs stop it George Campbell I'm just saying stop it right now the kid can go get healthy get a job your child has a soul well here's the story Leona Helmsley was a socialite much like you and a billionaire much like me she's been described as a socialite so she's a socialite billionaire with a terrier named Trouble okay which sounds like a sassy murder mystery so she showed her love to the dog by bestowing upon it 12 million dollars was more than the 10 million she gave to her own brother y'all I can't here's the worst part her two grandchildren left out of the will entirely zero dollars to the grandkids 12 million oh my gosh I want to know this I want to know her I wanna I wish I had known like like where the grandkids just terrible people and she's like you know what here's the minnow I'm gonna just give it she's like a Cruella Deville type I don't know it's one of those or I mean but the fact that she at least that to a dog I can't well the brother so I looked this up because I was like what you can't legally give money to a dog so it's to the brother and he's like the uh the caretaker so the brother is now the executor of the will for the dog which I think is humbling like he's got to manage 12 million dollars for this dog what is he gonna buy for this dog that's where it's like I think he made a little pet living room with like luxury Furniture it's the most absurd thing ever I don't know nothing you have to admit it's kind of funny that a dog has a higher net worth than almost than any American person that's humbling on its own I wonder what kind of dog it was it's just a terrier I know I'm in trouble she sounds like kind of like the worst dog ever terrible dog trouble sorry man you're not for a second moving on hey how about this one an elderly woman Sue's doctor she can't remember so in 2005 Irene Finley was rushed to the hospital with a severe infection in her knee she never met Dr Roy the Doctor Who assigned to operate her on her name so she eventually sued him in 2007 for negligence because she couldn't remember anything about him okay so I don't know if she was missing Like official paperwork like she's like I have no recollection this happened therefore I shouldn't have paid for this like I don't know if she's had like maybe they drugged me and she like didn't know I don't know what it was but all I know is that a jury awarded her seven million dollars and Dr Roy had to file for bankruptcy but for real okay I don't so something if a jury 12 people right come to a unanimous decision insane reasonable yeah then obviously there was there was information in the case that was odd that they were like she deserves the money right like yeah because our I've seen jury duty so I feel like a capable jury should be able to get to the bottom of this I mean isn't that wild though wow well that's that's one way to make your Millions yep okay I love is the Antique Road shows oh yeah this is a good one the painting called it's so difficult Spanish is a beautiful but difficult language for me the how do you say it l Allah which translates to the laborer and I've done a lot of laboring just trying to get this word out it was a painting from 1904 by Diego Rivera and it was valued between 1.2 million and 2.2 million in September 2018. it was originally appraised between 800 Grand to a million on the show in 2012 but the value was updated to reflect the high sales price of other works by Rivera another painting of his the Rival sold for 9.7 million dollars 10 million dollars and so for somebody at the NC Road Show they obviously just had it right and that like part of the that's part of the show it's like you find stuff it's like I just have this painting and it was like passed down or whatever and this person got yeah it would have been well this one specifically like a million dollars art is the one part of life I can't fully wrap my mind around that like stuff like that like do I'm saying like that could be anything kind of like you kind of do it for the flex a little bit like yes it's because it's beautiful but it's also like I have a two million dollar painting in my house is that interesting but I would rather have like a two million dollar like three cars that totaled here's you know what I'm saying like rich people see them as assets yes versus a car depreciating they're like well this painting will that's fair gain value of it that's fair like it's not usable I don't know it's I'd rather buy real estate than a painting to be if I had two million dollars I'm not in real estate yeah and you make passive income from I mean like yeah like I don't know but I've never heard of Diego I'm sure he's a nice guy or was I bet I can't imagine he's alive anymore I mean I bet he's great yeah but hey your work it's making it it's making it to Smart money happy hour what a legacy what a legacy he's living it's the only thing he wanted in life and it's coming true okay the next one I love is that a waitress receives five hundred thousand dollars from a regular customer so this technically was more than just an overnight half millionaire if you will okay uh but Bill Crookston was an elderly man who visited a local restaurant and he sat in the same section every day and Cara wood would always you know take care of him and not only just at the restaurant but she would also run errands for him she would go to his place and help him around this house okay and so obviously she became one of his favorite waitresses and like a really good friends is when he passed away in 1992 he named her the sole beneficiary of his estate y'all that's wild so that means he probably didn't have family and I just think that is a lovely story you're right I'll give him the benefit of the doubt someone's being kind and there and their generosity pays off Advocate do you think homegirl knew he had some money and was hoping to make it into the will do you think that was ever a part no no not a half a million dollars maybe if he had like millions or something but half a million I think you can fly under the radar yeah if his entire estate's half a million yeah you're not like I'm right right gonna do it like he like has paintings in his house that are worth a lot or something you know what I'm saying once again Rachel wins in the good person award I'm much more cynical than her but that's still it's a love that's actually a lovely story I think it's There's No Malice involved here from what I can tell I liked it okay uh next one is creepy I'm gonna have you take it because it's just weird to me Japan's oldest man had actually been dead for 30 years okay we'll see how that one tracks oh my gosh in 2010 sojin Kato was believed to be the oldest living man at 111 years old when officials went to his home to wish him a happy birthday strange enough on its own and congratulate him on holding the record they found his dead but well preserved body lying in bed his daughter who was 81 had mummified his body and set it up to look as if he were sleeping for over 30 years no I'm out I'm sorry I I lost me I'm out the mummification of a human I don't even know what in the Weekend at Bernie's is going on it's like human Taxidermy that is like could you imagine having a dead body like in a bed in a bedroom the family here's here's where it gets extra gross but financially scammy the fine the family admitted to doing this in order to continue collecting pension payments from the government on his behalf because as long as he's alive he's getting money and they're just spending the money estimated 117 thousand dollars had been stolen since his death in 1979. oh my gosh wow that's a juicy one would you have a dead body in a room in your home if someone paid you for it no if you're like 100 Grand to keep this thing alive for 30 years I'm like no I just go get a job I get a side job whatever it takes to not have a dead body in my house so this fraudulent case made the Japanese authorities realize over 234 000 people over the age of 100 were not insured to be alive due to poor record keeping wow wow wow man that's a lot of knock on the door hey just checking in making sure to take a pulse for 30 years wow or like talk to him isn't that funny it's so bizarre okay next one is made inherits 40 million dollars from a father she never met so Argentinian woman Ava uh was yeah she didn't have a father and she was working as a house keeping maid and after some research she discovered that her father's father was a rich Baron who died in 1983. she demanded a paternity test but The Baron's estate was so against it that they exhumed his the body and replaced it with another man oh God wait what man they took the body out and replaced it with another man anyways she got the DNA finally from The Baron's mother and she won dang and in the end she established a relationship with her biological father and went home with Millions 40 million dollars there's a happy ending and reconnected with the bio dad 40 million dollars hours later sure I'd watch that movie in theaters but they replaced the dead man oh man but so obviously the biological dad was part of the estate switching body thing right when you assume that's interesting there's your plot twist in your movie but then they end up like in a nice loving relationship father's father was a rich Baron yeah he and so I don't know so Grandpa yep very interesting she walks away with 40 million if you could choose any Rich famous person to be related to that's not Dave Ramsey who would have foreign oh that's a good one I'm gonna go Bezos really why uh I like it I like Amazon and I'm sure behind the scenes there's a lot going on there but I just feel like he kind of flies under the radar oh so and he's like what the fourth like what you pick like one of the richest people if you could pick anybody that's fair plus you probably get free stuff on Amazon I don't even think he is he even involved anymore I don't know you just get a free Prime shot I'm sure not but I would like a free Prime subscription that's all I want I'm gonna go uh I'm gonna go Warren Buffett good one oh man just a sweet old man who's very reasonable yes very reasonable you know what that's a great one you know that's not making headlines shooter like a Mark Cuban or something would be fun oh that would be where it's like this yeah like he's the cool dad yeah he'd be he'd be the cool Dash that's fair that's fair moving on we got one more Rachel you ready for it yes I'm ready billionaire jackpot winner someone out there won a 1.08 billion dollar Powerball jackpot a few weeks ago and the odds of winning this thing one in 292.2 million let that sink in so when you think like well someone's got to win it you also have to think if you get on any airplane this is going to be the one that gets struck by lightning and go yeah yeah you have to also grapple with that as well yes so uh here's the story this is the third largest winning since 1992 and the person or group that has won has not come forward yet so there's no name okay spooky they have like a year right they have one year to claim the prize yeah the craziest part is that the store that sells the ticket gets a million dollars as like a fun thing yeah it's more of just like a spoof of hey sure why not out of a billion dollars a million is uh is not that much yeah that's a you know it's a thousand Millions to get to a billion it's a lot that's insane but here's the sad thing though for most lottery winners 70 lose or spend all of their money in five years or less can you believe that 70 go bankrupt most winners very much like impulse spend and then end up regretting it and the minute you become a Lotto winner for a large sum you become a Target so again lots of cases where people were poisoned robbed or even murdered for their money claim that winning the lottery strain their relationships no shock yeah I know well because that the instantaneous wealth that is built with the lotto and probably anything the other things we're talking about is that you haven't formed good habits on a journey if you will to Building Wealth it's just like placed on you so all your bad habits are just going to be magnified with all this money well truthfully the actual wealthy people don't play the lottery so the people that do play are generally broke yeah and so it's life-changing money but they don't know how to handle how to handle it so but it will have 70 percent go bankrupt so like I wonder what the average because not all lotteries are are a billion dollars right you could win a million but yeah which is more reasonable yeah so that that yeah I could spend that we could we could get through we could we could get through a million but like even people that you know that win like 50 million or that like win a lot of money that you think how can you run out of that what would you do if you won this thing I mean obviously a billion dollars turns into half of that after yeah taxes and stuff yeah but let's say you took the lump sum let's see you got 500 million dollars lump summer I would get houses I would get like vacation where at yeah I would go uh warm so I'd go Caribbean okay uh Islands not sure specifically what like Exumas or something like something kind of exclusive but that you could still get to restaurants uh close proximity I guess you could have a chef if you won that so yeah I bring the chef with me so no matter where I would have like a city a city like Paris or London or something you know it's like a cool apartment you would buy a city Mountain City I would have all those places because I would feel like I just need to go and then for sure a plane okay but like a big plane so I could bring a lot of people with a big old jobs those would be like big purchases houses yep and a plane what would yours be I like the idea of buying a city now that you mentioned it I want to go full like full shits Creek a village of the town I make all the rules hey Johnny Depp had it I think it was Johnny Depp has a town in like I or like some obscure place and it's a small little village and it's on it's for sale for like 70 million and it's been for sale for like years and years and years and years but it's like a little village it has like like a few like little stores some houses I know you should get in on that that's impressive yeah I'd for sure buy some vacation homes I mean at some point you just kind of get bored of the money maybe Rachel would not no that makes me I would want to like do something like with Gen not to be that guy but like something really cool and generous that like changed an entire city or something oh totally you know yes like go to my hometown and pass everyone's debt in the entire city first before my plane sure just invite me that's all I'm asking invite well oh oh because we both can't win yeah so if I win if you win invite me okay and if you win invite me to my city to your city Georgetown it's already a place wow well uh that's a good one being an overnight millionaire Rachel not not all it's cracked up to be yeah the least now what can we learn from this well I think one of the biggest things is the likelihood of this happening is very small so not to like bust the bubble of everyone out there so and there's a sense of ownership that you have to take over your own life and to be like okay here's my situation here's what I have what am I going to do with this right and so one of our big things is like you have to start give stop giving your money to other people AKA debt to Banks and credit lenders all that so when you actually have your own income you're able to build wealth so the biggest thing is your habits and choices that you make long term I mean because it is it's going to be a long journey it doesn't happen overnight and part of it it sounds cheesy but you have to believe it's possible for you most people never create the habits because they're like well I'm never going to be a millionaire anyways or a million bucks isn't enough in today's world and so they have a very cynical attitude towards money and therefore it's just YOLO spend everything you make go into piles of debt you're never going to get there if you think that like that and what's interesting is that mindset to me I'm like that leaves you stressed broke like that's a level of hard to me that I'm like why would you want that versus saying hey I can actually try like let's just give it a try let's get out of debt let's invest and just see what happens because the thing is that's more of a proven record of actually having money and keeping it than the latter so yes and this is not Theory so I followed the Ramsay baby steps ten years ago when I started here at Ramsay and I went from forty thousand dollars in debt to net worth millionaire in a decade and people are like well how would you do it like what's the secret you must come from wealth or you have like a really crazy job it literally I just got out of debt yeah which is baby step two got a fully funded emergency fund baby step three started investing 15 into our company 401K this is boring stuff that anyone out there can do yes and so obviously my wife she works here at Ramsey we have dual income and so because of both of our incomes getting rid of the debt paying off our house early investing over a long period of time into our 401K into mutual fund funds all of a sudden you wake up and you look at the numbers and you're like okay your house is an asset that's worth something your 401k accounts that's worth something and it adds up over time and the older you get and the longer you do this it compounds it grows faster and faster because of compound interest that's right exactly yeah and I feel like I get knocked sometimes being Dave's daughter oh yeah and I get that I'm like yeah I hear that but also I'm like but the truth is like when I started working at 21 and a half after college graduation I'm like I was making forty two thousand dollars a year yeah and my husband was working so we had a dual income but it's like that was that was 14 years ago and we continue to live below our means continue to invest like within our own family unit regardless of Dave or anything that that way right I mean obviously rimsy Solutions I'm plugged into but I'm like even our nuclear family like we're doing we're yeah we're not worth millionaires because we've done it yeah all of it we do it every single month yeah and it's consistent and dad doesn't send us like secret checks in the mail do you know what I mean people think like oh my gosh if anything I'm like Dave I can spread the love a little you know if you want we're here for it we're here the character is Built Well we also need to Define Rachel what millionaire is because a lot of people out there are like well I'll never make a million dollars like you don't need to make a million dollars to become a millionaire it's all about your net worth which is just a financial calculation it's not a feeling it's not your opinion it's just accounting yeah so your assets minus your liabilities equals net worth what you own minus what you owe and so when you don't have debt you don't have liabilities that's right it gives you a big up on the asset side yeah for sure so that is the key of just investing for the long term getting out of debt and it may look different for a lot of you it may not take five years or ten years it may take 17 or 20 or 25 years but you can absolutely get there in your working life oh for sure I mean it's possible and we see this all the time that people get out of debt and have their emergency fund funded those two steps alone in three years and then within seven years they pay off their house so that's a decade right so that's a decade of working towards something and then beyond that you're just you're Building Wealth so it's yeah it's an it's a very doable thing and that's I think the advantage of our jobs is that we hear from people day in and day out that are doing it and have done it so we know it works um versus playing all these like risky things you have to be super risky in order to build well yeah or accuse other people's money yeah that our side is like the boring side but it's the proven one anyone anywhere can do it so and I love this quote Rachel people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year they underestimate what they can accomplish in a decade oh that's good so we have these lofty goals I got to make a million dollars the next year or else my life is over yeah instead think in terms of a deck decade from now where do you want to be yeah and start building towards that with small habits and that's why I love the Ramsay baby steps and budgeting is a huge part of that we get a bad rap because like oh here they go talking about budgeting but it really is such a key to just create an intentional spending plan and pay attention to where your money's going yes track your spending know what's going on actually have a pulse on it um and it relieves so much stress and anxiety when you know what is happening with your money so that control part is really big and you do that if you're intentional with that over time and hey the more you win with money when you've been doing this over a decade even the budget you can kind of be a little bit more loose with it if you wanted right we have more margin yeah and bigger category you know your categories can be more broad not as specific right like there's tweaks as you go along this process but golly I mean just I I had a friend and he said to me he was like I just feel like I work too hard to like budget every single penny oh boy and I was like man I so feel the opposite I'm like I feel like I work too hard not to like pay attention yeah where I'm like no I want that money going somewhere very specifically to know that that I'm working for something right so that's a good word I don't know there's uh different mindsets out there but we believe in Orange George that's right right and if you guys want to check out our favorite budgeting app it's called every dollar and uh it's the one we use to track our budget every day to make sure that we're living on less than we make and then we're hitting our goals so uh that makes me feel good because it I know I don't have to go get some high value painting or like do some illegal government scheme to get pension payments from a dead body you have to have a dead body in another in a spirit you don't have to do that and I didn't know that's where the advice was going to end for today's episode that's where we are and we have to just come to terms with that that's what if people do come into uh lump sum overnight because we do get calls on the Ramsay show where someone calls in like Rachel I got an inheritance from my mom or dad who passed or my grandparents yep I have a hundred thousand dollars what do I do what do you tell them well step one would be if it was someone close like a spouse or an unexpected parent like it like let the grief settle like we we say like wait like six to 12 months to do anything big financially especially if there's a lot of grief right but um if you're beyond that and you have the ability to do something I would pay off debt immediately take that and pay off all your debt I would put some in savings three to six months of expenses I would just have like in a money market account or high yield savings and then the rest yeah I would look to invest I would talk to an investment professional smart investor Pro or someone that is able to look at the investment side of where you're at because I mean you could even just put that in a good mutual fund yeah and let it just sit there and live off the interest of it yeah it's pretty great so if you don't need it to live off of you're still working you have an income yeah I would try to invest the majority of that and let it grow for you for sure absolutely be wisely don't just go like spend it on nice stuff out of you know grieving yeah yeah for sure but I mean if you have the ability to take some and enjoy a portion of it I think that's okay too but the but the bulk of it I would I would be wise with for sure that's a good word good advice all right George it's almost the end of the episode and we close every episode with guilty as charged and this is where our producer Lindsay gives us a new guilty's charge question every week and if we are guilty we have to take a sip all right Lindsay have you ever regretted donating money to someone or a company um [Music] okay I have one go for it it ended up being a scam oh boy yes so we had a guy come to our front porch and it was a nice red flag I know and and I'm usually not this person but I believe them all I mean I got I was like sucked right in and he was doing um like a community garden in the inner city and he was showing us Flyers of like kids that were helping with it and they would take proceeds home it was a it was a really well thought out scam yeah it was a really well thought out idea I love a thoughtful scammer I know I don't Winston I was like I think we should like give him a few hundred bucks like because it because it would really I don't know it just I I love the idea of the work part there was a lot of things that checked the boxes for me that I thought you know what this is great they pulled the heartstrings yep um and so we wrote him a check and gave it to him and about 45 minutes later our neighborhood like GroupMe came up and they were like hey this guy done someone's like yeah I just looked up his uh like 501c3 and it doesn't exist I mean it was this whole thing y'all it was a complete scam so but Winston called the bank and we got the check canceled which is great but he would have totally walked away with a few hundred bucks oh no not terrible I was like there are people I can't believe there's people out there like that lots of them yeah it's so sad they prey on women like me okay vulnerable people have you chores yeah you know the people who stand like on the median on the road yeah and like families and they'll be like we have all these kids I I gave to one of those ones and I later found out through the Facebook group they're like do not give to these people it's a total scam and I felt you have that sinking heart like the sinking feeling in your heart like I try to do a good thing in the backyard and it's like anger and shame and guilt and you feel like you're gullible and it makes you not want to give but then you don't want to stop giving it's just so many emotions all at once yeah it's so funny because I have the I not the opposite but I don't go towards
