Nebraska State Bar Association #20690.
I made a small seven-figure fortune at age 23 in 1979 in silver and gold futures and rolled some of my profits into 1980 and some into 1981. Recently, I found my 1981 tax return as prepared by Coopers and Lybrand. I paid $244,301 in taxes that year.
Part of the after-tax profits went into Berkshire Hathaway. It was sort of obscure at the time but I found out about it and the inestimable CEO because I lived in Omaha. B"H I was the first person in my family to own Berkshire stock.
A note about futures: Commodity futures are vehicles in which it is easy to wipe out one's investment. It is also not unheard-of, but considerably more uncommon, to multiply one's investment into comparatively large profits. This was my story and I bought Berkshire with some of the profits.
