    You should really do a story about billionaires that lose everything like Ireland's richest man who built a cement empire and then lost $6B through overly risky decisions and ended up back on the same street he grew up on.
    Seriously, not all big risks pay off and all these channels make it seem like big risks always = big rewards. There should really be at least a few realist stories about when big risks blow up.
    The cement guy had an amazing story, but the difference between him and this banana dude is that his big risks taken (while already rich) cost him his empire instead of growing it further. I'm just saying, perspective is important and we shouldn't overly glorify wild risk taking.

    This caught my attention because my Uncle Max also immigrated from Russia, arriving in Pittsburgh around 1930. After serving in the Army, he began a banana distributing business, and married my Dad's sister. They had a nice life, and I remember how positive & generous Max was, giving me a silver dollar every time we visited (mid - late 1950's). Sadly, he died of a heart attack at the age of 52. I was 10 years old, and I wish I had gotten to know him better, if he had not died so young.

    That video is focused on the actual fruit instead of the business so I'm glad you made this video so we can have a better understanding.

      I made piles on RuneScape following Zemurray's methods but this was during the height of the 00s when bots from China were creating resources which they disposed off in the general stores. I made money, folliowing Banana Man's methods - take then goods across the game world, selling them for a profit.
      It was, like this show, total bananas.
