The Pursuit of Fortune: Mark Twain's Financial Follies
Mark Twain-America's beloved literary genius-harbored a lifelong obsession with wealth that repeatedly led him to financial ruin. Born Samuel Clemens in 1835, Twain entered the world during America's greatest economic transformation. While contemporaries like Rockefeller and Carnegie built lasting empires, Twain squandered millions on fantastical inventions and ill-conceived schemes. "Whatever I touch turns to gold," he once declared-before losing it all. His father had instilled this wealth obsession by claiming the family's Tennessee land would someday make them "fabulously wealthy." This inheritance became what Twain called "the curse of it"-a perpetual belief that prosperity waited just around the corner. This tantalizing prospect of imminent wealth would haunt him throughout his life, driving him to pursue fortune through increasingly desperate ventures while his true talent-writing-remained merely his means to financial ends.
