2. Altria – 170,000 times (12% annualized return)
3. PepsiCo – 80,000 times (14% annualized return)

More than half of the century's growth comes from dividend reinvestment. It's not about how fast the stock price rises, but about continuously buying back dividends, compounding interest over a hundred years. The most accessible way for ordinary people to get rich: High dividends + long-term holding = snowball effect. By catching a few top-performing stocks, ordinary people can absolutely change their destiny!
