I was a millionaire at 26 years old. I was the VP and partner in a multimillion dollar wholesale importing business in NYC... sold that business in 1983...

Gwen went to work at Microsoft in 1984... and was the Director of HR Worldwide and spent 19 years there...

The latest is a pre IPO investment we made in Isilon Systems which was sold to EMC for 2.25 Billion in 2010 (we owned 1% of all the outstanding shares which I'll save you the Googling and figuring was 660,000 shares sold for all cash @ $33.85)....

Gwen is also the main character in this horrible book....
