Kelly Martin : Nonbovine Ruminations
Jimmy's house
"One of the oft-stated "facts" about Jimmy Wales is that he made himself financially secure as an options trader. I'm a little curious about this because I don't think it's true.
So I did some digging. Jimmy sold his house last December for $230,000; he had bought it back in 2002 for $180,000 so that's a pretty decent capital gain. We'll get to that in a bit."
