A gifted American named Leon Howard, who spent ten years of his life in prison, has triumphed and emerged as a pro at making money.

American citizen Leon Howard, a native of New Orleans, Louisiana, experienced hardship as a child and was ultimately imprisoned at the age of 16. He was sentenced to ten years in prison.

As Leon was imprisoned, he thought about his life and decided to utilize the rest of his life to make extraordinary contributions to the community. He developed a friendship with a theft-related prisoner who shared his cell.

Leon’s cell mate explained to him how wealthy individuals make their money by trading and investing on the stock market. He gradually kept studying the topic and finally understood how to make money off of stocks and investments.

“My former cellmate changed my entire perspective on life. After I  told him how much time I had in prison, he told me his sentence was only 18 months,” Leon told Essence.

Through the course of his time in prison, Leon said he devoured any information he could about wealth-building. “My cellmate said rich people put their money into three places: the stock market, a business and then real estate,” Leon said.

Soon after being freed from prison, Leon got a job as an ironworker. 70% of his income was set aside for investing. It slowly became larger as he continued to consider his next move. Now working full-time as an investor and business owner, Leon imparts his knowledge to others in an effort to help them reach the same degree of financial freedom.
