John Hancock was a rich man. But grave robbers chopped off his hands to get his gold rings. A hundred or two years later, construction workers accidentally opened up his grave and left him exposed for the night. In the morning his head and chest were gone.

He financed most of the Revolutionary War himself and died as one of the richest men in America.

You can’t take it with you.
