Many people who are rich are also well-known. Ted Sweeney was an exception to this rule.

His family moved to San Francisco from Los Angeles when he was one month old. That’s where he grew up. At the age of seventeen he was hit by a train. Although he was seriously hurt, the railroad paid him $ 25,000. Instead of going to college he bought a small store. Six months later the government bought his land to build a new highway. He sold it for $ 95,000.

With this money he moved to Detroit. He started a small company that made parts for the car

manufacturers. It was very successful that by the time he was 23 he was a millionaire. When he was 24 he got married. He and his wife had three daughters in the next five years. By the time he was 30 he had over ten million dollars.

Then tragedy struck. He was involved in a traffic accident. He did not die but his wife and

daughters did. Six months later he sold everything he owned and put his money in stocks. Ted then moved to New York. He lived for the next forty years in a one-room apartment.

He spent most of his days wandering through the city looking in garbage cans for food. He

never worked. He rarely talked to anyone except himself. Most people were afraid of him. His clothes were always old and dirty.

Shortly before he died he moved back to Los Angeles. After spending two weeks there he

was put in jail because he had no money and no job. City workers tried to help him. They offered him work but he would not wok. Towards the end he would not talk to anyone at all.

When he died, he was a lonely man. But someone remembered his name. They knew he had

lived in Detroit and had been successful. It was learned that he had put his stocks in a box at a Detroit bank. After they were sold and all the taxes paid, there was still over a hundred million dollars left. 1). Where did Sweeney grow up?
