Timothy Dexter: The Best Worst Businessman in History

Have you ever heard of Timothy Dexter, the guy who might just be the luckiest bad businessman in history? Back in the 18th century, this American merchant made some of the most ridiculous business decisions—and somehow got rich from them! He once shipped coal to Newcastle, a city famous for having too much coal, and still made a profit. He also sent warming pans (used to heat beds) to the Caribbean, where it’s super hot, but people ended up buying them to make molasses! Dexter was so good at making terrible ideas work that people started to think he was a genius. His story is a wild reminder that sometimes, even the worst ideas can pay off! #brightside
