This was excellent - I'd never heard of Andrew Hallam, but I heard of a similar story of a janitor who left millions in his will.

There's something to be said about the "appearance" of wealth compared to actual wealth - one is often traded for the other!

I’d never heard the story of Andrew Hallam but I’ll certainly be taking a look now! Great principles included in this piece too. Patience is one of the hardest characteristics to maintain, but the rewards for playing the long game can grow to unimaginable levels. Great post Malik!

Thanks Dylan. And yes, patience is the name of the game. And this concept goes beyond finance: It’s a general life principle

Thank you Zan. And yes, I think I’ve heard of that janitor as well. I think his name is Ronald Read right?

And definitely, the appearance of wealth is definitely overstated!
