As a kid he was a apprentice, as he grew, he joined the army, and mostly started the french and indian war, but he grew older and wiser, he wrote some books until the Revolutionary war, they elected him to lead the Army, so he did and won a Victorious Victory, then everyone loved him/Appreciate him. Later he was the 1st president, then during 1812 Wars, he was elected commander of the army again, he was incredibly i tell you, he never got wounded, but suddenly got a sickness, and did bloodletting (A technique used in the early 14th century) and died of blood loss (Sad story), So anyways he was rich no matter what, Hope This Helps :)
