Working back for inflation you could probably buy a house with that.

Late 1956 to 1960. Benefited heavily from the Post-war boom I suspect, once you're hitting those kinds of numbers during that time it becomes harder to 'fail' because unless you massively fuck up on a big, risky venture the money can basically grow itself through stable, safe, lower-return investments.
