Was there anyone who prospered (legally) during the Great Depression?
Were there any specific individuals who did well during the Great Depression?
One example is J.C. Penney, who built his retail empire during the Depression by opening stores in smaller towns where his low-priced merchandise was in high demand. Another is film director Frank Capra, who made popular movies with uplifting themes that resonated with audiences during the tough times.
