I know a couple dudes that started mining in the early days before it became too difficult and laborious for the return investment. They no longer mine, but they are pretty loaded now. I won't ask what they made, but I'd venture that it is north of $1MM each.

Another dude in Europe bought 5,000 coins for $27.00 US (2009) and forgot about them. He's now worth $750K.
KA-CHING!
