A man invested $25,000 in Tesla when it was worth $2 billion, sold for a three-fold return, then watched the stock climb to a trillion-dollar valuation. His original stake would have been worth $6 million if he'd held on.

One of the biggest mistakes I made, I invested in Tesla when Tesla was at $2 billion and I put all the money I had straight out of college. I put it into Tesla and I rode it up till it was at $7 billion or something like that. And I cashed out at a 3x. And I remember at the time thinking, okay, General Motors and these other, whoever the biggest ones at the time, I think they were at $20-something billion. And I was like, one day Tesla could be, you know, half as big or maybe even as big as those companies. It just seemed like that was the roof. And then Tesla went up and became at one point a trillion-dollar company. Now it's come back down to like, you know, whatever. My $2 billion could have become a trillion basically. How much did you put in? $25,000? Yeah, I had like $25,000. $25 grand in it. We've done the math at one point, and this wasn't the peak, but at one point it was like I would have had $6 million from that $25K.
