Some idea about a Nouveau Riche
I have known someone story that I can say a success story of a person that is now the nouveau riche. The new rich, the words nouveau riche means. When you become a nouveau riche meaning that you have reach the common goal most of us wanted to be. I have here someone’s story how he became a rich person.When Wacky was in his early teens, he along with his father, mother, and younger sister moved to Florida. His father, Sam, wasn’t an ideal male figure. He was abusive to his wife Lora. They were close to a divorce until they moved to Florida. The move was Sam’s plan to save the marriage and start over. But Sam didn’t really want to change. He still was abusive to both Lora and their children. It was tough for all of them but Wacky didn’t let this stop him. He used it as motivation to get a better life.
After high school, Wacky moved back to Chicago and tried attending college but dropped out after about a year and a half. Wacky then enlisted in the Army reserves. He trained with them for about a year. After Army training, Wacky moved back to Florida, where he moved towards the waste management industry. He bought a truck and began to take out the garbage in Broward county. Broward was seeing a huge population boom at this time. In less than ten years, Wacky grew that one garbage truck into a fleet and a successful business. The business stretched across much of the southern part of Florida and eventually grew into Waste Management Inc. WMI became one of the largest waste management firms in the United States. Wacky wasn’t settling down though, he wanted more. Wacky set his sights on a new industry. One of his friends mentioned a small company called Blockbuster, which at the time only had a few stores. Wacky was intrigued when he visited one of the stores and decided to buy the company.
Wayne again turned another company into a huge success. Blockbuster grew and grew and eventually merged with Viacom for $8 billion. Wayne moved on to pursue more ventures, many which also have become very successful.Through his career, Wayne has founded three Fortune 500 companies and has owned three professional sports teams.
