A friend sold his house in 2005. He was a huge Apple fanboy. With the proceeds that were left after he paid off his mortgage, he splurged on a quadcore Power Mac G5, and a new top of the range PowerBook.

And then put the rest into Apple stock. I told him he was absolutely insane.

He sold about a quarter of it at some point in 2018, but is currently sitting on several million dollars of gain.
