Search engines already existed when Larry Page and Sergey Brin decided to take a chance and created Google. This risk paid off, in 20 years, the general condition of entrepreneurs is estimated at $ 100 billion, according to the rating Forbes 400, and Google - the name known to every person.

According to CNBC, if you took the opportunity and invested in Google in the 2007 year, then maybe now, you would be a billionaire. Even an investor, company founder Berkshire Hathaway Warren Buffet says he regrets not having done so.

You could increase your money 3 times: an investment of $ 1000 in Google in 2007, as of October 31, would cost $ 2992.

But profitability Google looks very modest compared to companies like Nike and starbucks.

The graph below shows how much you could make now if you invested $ 2007 in a company in 1000. The blue dot is equivalent to an initial investment of $ 1000, and the pink circle is the total current value of the investment.

The bigger the pink circle, the more expensive your investment. If the pink circle fits into the diameter of blue or less, it means that you have lost money. The chart assumes that you have taken cash dividends and have not reinvested in the company by buying more shares.

So, if in 2007, you’d invest in Netflix $ 1000, now your investment would be worth $ 51,966.
