If the claim cited above looks a bit bizarre to you, get to know how much truth the citation holds. Glance through the success story of a man who invested his most important thing – an innovative approach that opened the flood gates of a million dollar business for him.
The story of Dennis Hope is of a great visionary, who always thought out of the way. He is a man who had seen a sea of failures in his life, but had turned his weakness into strength.
Dennis was into real estate business since the 70’s. He already had an assumption as to how much he was actually going to earn from this field, when he had stepped into this business. However, in reality he faced a lot of trouble while trying to make a deal. He could not sell properties, and there was zero profit.
One evening while brooding over his next step, he looked up at the moon for quite some time. Suddenly the spark of an idea crossed his mind. He could not sell land on earth; why not sell the land on the moon and earn a profit?
Through extensive research he came to know that according to the UN Outer Space Treaty of 1967, no Govt. was allowed to buy or sell extraterrestrial property. However, the treaty did not prohibit any individual or concern from doing so. So he sent a legal letter to the US and the UN, claiming all extra terrestrial properties as his own, and till date has made $9million @ $20 per acre at moon.
Thus he launched Lunar Embassy, the only concern in the world that can sell property on the moon. Today he owns trillions. He made a sale of the lands in the moon, and landed himself in history among the American millionaires.
