Alright, read this story and tell me what you think lol. I can't believe she made that much money off this. I would never do what she did. What a nice lady to donate it!!

Yes, I have heard about her! A lucky investment... And she lived a rather modest lifestyle, never wanted any of this money for herself, it appears.

Very thrift woman. After all that time, she lived in a very humble cottage. She lived a very contented life.

It wasn't a very smart decision on her part to invest in one single company - nonetheless, she was lucky. I don't think we can afford to do such things in today's volatile market situation though.

That's why I keep dreaming that one day I can buy some stocks of a big company. It's a shame she didn't enjoy all of her hard work if I were her, I could at least treat myself to something fancy for once.
