Seeing this, Russell felt like buying that book. The price of the book was 1.5 million dollars (over Rs. 11 crore).

But Russell explained to him that the book was very rare. So what, he bought that book. But now his wife has made it clear to him that she will not buy anything else in future. Russell loves reading books, so when he saw this book, he couldn’t resist buying it.

In October 2020, Russell, a father of 5, jumped for joy when he learned he had won the book, as well as a collection of other books written by Napoleon Hill. He has spent a total of 18 crore rupees for all these things. You may be surprised to know that they wanted to protect this book from dust, which is why they brought it home on a private plane. Russell said the book was the most expensive thing he had ever bought in his life.
