What Is A Good Way For A Fictional Character To Make A Great Deal Of Money?
My character works as an adviser to the Prime Minister of a country, so that places limits on what she can do. I was thinking that she could have used some of her own money (she had enough to be considered upper-middle class) to finance some sort of project that went on to make a great deal of money, but I wasn’t sure what it could be. Any ideas?
Since this is fiction and the logistics really don’t need to be explained.

While the character was in school she met this guy down the hall who worked on computers in his dorm room. She liked the guy but thought anybody who worked on computers instead studying of was little unusually. During the year he would borrow $100 here and there and several times even $400, but he always paid her back within two weeks with 100% interest. She gave up trying to give back the money, because he was adamanet about her keeping the money. So she thought nothing of it when he asked for $1000 to start his own company making computers. After all she made that much money on the loans she made to him over the year when she lived in the same dorm with him. This could be her way to give the interest money back. He then dropped out and she transfered back to school in her country so they split with her getting her money back. She had forgotten about the loan until a letter and call from her old college friend on her birthday no less asking her if she wanted a seat on his board of directors, Michael Dell’s board of directors.
I read somewhere writing fiction is hard because fiction must follow rules, but non-fiction is like life, non-fiction never follows rules and ends up in unexpected places.
Cheers and good luck!

easy, either she found a suitcase full of money in a cab, or she’s black mailing the prime minister. (you know, he keeps paying and she stays quiet about their affair.)

She could have made a ton devising a computer software application or game.
