12 Millionaires Who Became Rich Thanks to One Simple Idea

There is no universal way to become rich. Sometimes ingenious ideas bring nothing to their creators, while even the most stupid ones can become really successful and make you a millionaire. And that's exactly what happened to these 12 ordinary people who earned their millions thanks to their creativity, observation and simple luck.
Back in the 90s, Joy Mangano, an airline reservations manager, invented her own plastic Miracle Mop that’s easy to ring out without getting your hands wet. By 1995 she’d earned her first million! Guy Laliberté was a simple street artist when he got the idea to establish a unique circus. In 1984 he got a government grant and created his own “circus of the Sun,” or, as people now know it, Cirque du Soleil. Interested? Let's see what other ideas helped people to become wealthy!

SUMMARY:
- The slinky was actually invented by naval engineer Richard T. James back in 1943! The success was phenomenal; the toys became a huge hit and were sold within just 90 minutes!
- The future founder of the company, Gary Dahl, was hanging out with his friends in a bar, listening to them complaining about their pets. “You know what the perfect pet would be? A rock,” Gary joked and that's how the idea was born!
- Getting a letter from Santa is the ultimate dream, right? That's what lead Byron Reese to open up his own SantaMail company.
- One day Roni Di Lullo noticed his dog squinting in bright light. Normal sunglasses were completely useless, so he decided to make some for the dogs and call them Doggles!
- You probably know the tradition to break the turkey breastbone on Thanksgiving day. You make a wish and break it, and if you get the bigger part, it’ll come true. So Ken Ahroni made a whole business out of this popular ritual.
- Jonah White and Rich Bailey decided to monetize the “ugly teeth” idea and launched Billy Bob Teeth Inc. Since then, they’ve sold 20 million pieces of Billy Bob teeth in different designs and are very rich men.
- Big Mouth Billy Bass quickly became an extremely popular element of pop culture, making Pellettieri a very successful and wealthy man.
- Gary Clegg, a freshman at the University of Maine, got so cozy under the blanket one evening that he cut a hole in it and stuck his arms through. A couple hours later, he’d already come up with all the details for his business idea, which he called the Slanket.
- In 2015, 24-year-old mobile app developer Alex Craig had a fun thought: why not send out potatoes with cute personalized messages? He quickly founded the Potato Parcel Service and started to promote it on Reddit.
- Jason Sandler used T-shirts to advertise different businesses and wore them for a certain price. This approach turned out to be so effective that he hired more people, and by the end of the year the price went up to 365 dollars a day!
