How to get filthy rich

Do you often wonder how you can get filthy rich ?

It's easy...........the Molson Family did it. You can do it too.

John Molson (1763 - 1836) emigrated to Canada in 1782 at the age of

18 from his home in England. The Molson Family started several very

successful businesses and in the process became extremely rich.

(in a nutshell, here is how the Molson Family did it)

 

  

1. Start up your own bank.    The Molson Family founded 'The Molson Bank' in 1866. This bank was
    built on the corner of Rue St. Jacques & Rue St. Pierre. They also printed
    their own money, including a $7 bank note. In 1925, The Molson Bank
    merged with the Bank of Montreal (pictured below as The Bank of Montreal)

 2. Buy a successful Hockey Franchise

     In 1957 the Molson Family acquired the Montreal Forum and the Montreal

     Canadians. Over the years the Molson Family sold and bought this

     Franchise several times over. (and sold their own beer at the games)

 

 

3.  Start your own brewery.      At 22 years of age John Molson founded the Molson Brewery in 1786
     on the shores of the St. Lawrence River near the fortified City of Montreal.
     The Molson Brewery is the oldest brewery in North America. Another
     enterprise of that era that still survives today is the Montreal Gazette.

 

 

One thing that you will need is 'start-up' money. A lot of

   start-up money. I mean a huge pile of money................

   sorry...... I can't help you with that.
