    He didn’t get rich from the emerald mine. Its a real thing, but he only made around 400k (in 2021 dollars) on his roughly 200k investment. He didn’t own it either.

    Any actual riches were something else.

    Not to say that 200k is nothing, but it’s not the source of any rich level money his father had.

    The whole emerald mine story has been overblown.
