Thinking big is part and parcel of the real estate industry, and grandiose speculation has created some of America's greatest fortunes. John Jacob Astor traded in his empire of beaver pelts for a gamble on uptown manhattan real estate and became the richest man in America. More recently, moguls like Sam "the grave dancer" Zell and the perennially overreaching Donald Trump have made fantastic fortunes on real estate gambles. Even for nonbillionaires, the thrill of deal making, the promise of financial reward, the potential to have a lasting impact on cities and communities, and the sociability make real estate a rewarding profession.
