Back in the mid to late 90's, I worked with an accountant who was an avid fantasy football fan, playing in more than one league. He married a co-worker who's father was a big Nascar fan. The accountant wanted to start his own fantasy football league, but his father-in-law convinced that Nascar fans were as rabid as football fans. So his FIL gave him some start up money and he created a fantasy Nascar thing that took off like a rocket. Within 2 years he quit his job, managing the fantasy thing and after about 5 years sells the whole thing for a huge amount of money. New company hires him to keep running the thing for a couple years. As an accountant, he'd probably be something mid-level by now.
