NFL legend Rob Gronkowski's best-ever investment: $69,000 worth of Apple stock he bought on advice from his contractor
Briefly

"Every time I saw him, when we were building the house, he kept saying, 'Get Apple. Get Apple,'... So after the 50th time, I got it. And let me tell you, it's the best investment I've ever had in my life."
"I [had] never been involved in stocks... I really didn't know how stocks work. So I was like, 'alright, let me do this, man.'"
"Obviously this just fits along the lines of just me being myself; I'm going to put $69,000 into Apple stock... That was my own money, with no advice like this, just from the guy who built my house."
"Gronkowski actually ended up forgetting he'd even invested the money until about two and a half years later... By the time he remembered he'd squirreled away the money his $69,000 investment had more than tripled to $250,000."
