Top Ordinary Items That Made People Rich !!
Everyone likes to imagine that there might be a Picasso hidden in the attic. But it is a sad fact of life that when we finally get around to cleaning out the clutter, most of us will uncover nothing but dust bunnies.
However, some people have found out that riches were hiding not in their attic, but in their junk drawers, backyards, bathrooms, dinner plates, or even on their birth certificates. And the things that they made fortunes from weren’t as rare as a work of art—they were things that almost everyone today can find or buy cheaply. Watch the full video to find out about ten ordinary items that made their owners rich.
A Name
When Jason Sadler’s mom told him his stepfather was filing for divorce, Sadler responded to the news with a joke. Sadler told his mom he’d just have to sell off his last name to avoid being stuck with the family name of a third divorced dad.
A movie poster
At a market in Summerville, Laura Stoufer bought a copy of a poster for an old movie. When she got home, she realized there was something behind the cardboard base. Inside, she discovered a poster for All Quiet on the Western Front, valued at $20,000.
A baseball card
Bernice Calego was cleaning up at home when she found an old photograph of a baseball team. The entrepreneurial lady put it up for sale on eBay for $10. In the end, Bernice sold it for $75,000 after it was valued by the National Association of Securities Dealers.
The St Albans Hoard
While some people never have any luck for years on end, others hit the jackpot on their first attempt.
The painting Magnolias
A Cup of Coffee
On a cold winter day, Stella Liebeck and her nephew drove up to a McDonald’s drive-through. After ordering a cup of hot coffee, Liebeck spilled it on her lap as her nephew pulled the car away.
A Spring
Richard James was working in a factory during World War II when he knocked a spring off the shelf. He was amazed when the spring smoothly coiled downwards instead of instantly dropping to the ground.
A Tulip
A 17th century Dutchman would be shocked if you gave your significant other a bouquet of tulips for Valentine’s Day.
A figurine ordered by Nicholas II
George and Betty Davis from New York were once getting rid of the junk in their attic when they discovered a figurine that looked to be valuable.
An unusual pearl

Shares in Coca-Cola

A Rock
Gary Dahl was drinking at a bar when he came up with a concept that would take the 1970s by storm and make his company over a million dollars in revenue.
Garbage
As anyone who lives in a city can tell you, litter is worse than worthless. A New Yorker named Justin Gignac was convinced otherwise. He believed that if someone packaged something right, it would sell.
Air
We breathe about twenty-three thousand times a day. While we may spend money on basic necessities such as food, water, shelter, and electricity, nobody would even imagine paying for air. Right?
Poop
We flush our waste down the toilet every day without much thought. If we excreted gold instead of poop, we might think twice about doing so.
A Red Paperclip
Kyle MacDonald, a 27-year old man from Montreal, started out his summer with no job, no house, and a single red paperclip.
Two Boxes of Pizza
In 2010 Lazlo Hanyecz, a hungry developer of a then near-unknown cryptocurrency called Bitcoin had a craving for pizza.
