Examples are illustrative, rounded, and based on publicly reported figures and prices; dates and amounts are approximate. An investment shown as ≈$1,000 is an illustrative lot at the prices in that row, not a named person’s trade. Equity rows use split-adjusted daily closes from Nasdaq; dividends are excluded, and the buy date is the first close in that series, which is often later than the IPO. Crypto rows, other than the two milestone lots, use CoinGecko’s recorded low and recorded high — the widest published range, not a typical purchase. Venture checks that are widely reported are shown as reported, with the multiple floored. “Marked” is a public valuation, not cash received. This is a record of outcomes, not advice.

02What qualifies

  1. 01

    It cleared 100× — realised, or publicly marked, at one hundred times the money invested or more.

  2. 02

    It is documented: the size, the dates, and the outcome can be checked in a public record.

  3. 03

    Rumours stay off, and a paper gain is not entered as a finished sale.
