Lev Leviev started as a diamond cutter apprentice at age XX in 1971, shortly after emigrating to Israel.

A typical diamond polishing factory earns $250K-$1M annually in revenue, with profit margins of 5-15% (net ~$12.5K-$150K per factory).

With XX factories by 1980 (acquired cheaply during recession), assuming avg. $500K revenue/factory and XX% margin, he'd earn ~$600K/year profit. Over XX years to 1992, that's ~$7.2M pre-tax/reinvestment, scaling via expansion/deals to millions. Sources: Wikipedia, Forbes, Statista, industry reports.
