I am in full agreement with what has been said, but as to the original
question...
IMHO, and I have some 40 years experience at the top levels of Corporate
America, there are very few businessmen and professionals that accumulate
$5 million in their lifetimes. We read about those who accumulate much
more than that, but they are a very small percentage of those who toil as
CEO's, CFO's, engineers, doctors, lawyers, etc. Surely fewer than 5%.
Accumulating $1 million, sure. But only after many years of very hard work
and being in the right place at the right time.
A friend who 'started with nothing', and now has some 3,000 hives that run
to Calif. for almonds and Maine for blueberries and make a fair amount of
honey, says that today Beekeeping is 'one of the most lucrative
agricultural pursuits', and I suspect he is right.
It won't last forever, and it will be wise to keep that in mind.
