Dan was a single guy who spent his life at home with his father and working in the family business. His father was becoming elderly and it was apparent that Dan would soon inherit the business with no heirs of his own.

One evening at a financial planning seminar, he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He said to her, "I may look like an ordinary man, but before long my father will pass and I'll inherit a business worth $20 million."

Impressed, the woman obtained his business card and three months later became his stepmother.
