My daughter was given a single share of Disney when she was born (1988). It has split twice (4 to 1 and later 3 to 1) so she now has 12 shares worth about $470. Getting dividends yearly, but very low (1.5% or so). However, that stock was $4.67 when we got it, and is now 12 stocks at $39.31 each. That's a lot of growth I think for 24 years.
Trying to get her interested in investing a portion of her income. My son will for sure, and he's starting a new job when he graduates college that will pay him enough to really invest.
