Exiled Into Celebrity

After his surrender in 1886, the Apache leader Geronimo became quite in demand at expositions, parades and fairs and he quickly caught on to the marketing potential and was soon charging for autographs, signed photos, even selling his head gear and the buttons off his clothing as souvenirs. The budding capitalist was so successful, by the time he died, in 1908, he had amassed $10,000 in his bank account.

Imagine what Geronimo could have done
on Wall Street today.
