I remember reading the story of Tim Leatherman a few years ago. It was pretty peak boomer. Graduate from Oregon State. Meet future Vietnamese wife while playing ping pong at a friend's college. Don't really want to work a "square" job, so move to Europe. Buy a cheap car and bum around there and chill for a few years. Come on back to the US. Still don't want to work. Wife/family support you while you tinker. Decide to screw a few different blades, a screwdriver, and a bottle opener onto a pair of pliers. Sell in mail order catalogues. Nine-figure net worth.
