Ryan Leslie recently spoke with the Earn Your Leisure podcast about his investments, revealing that his $100,000 investment in Apple shares in 2009 had grown to $16 million.

When asked why he kept the shares, Leslie stated that he did so because of his mentorship, noting that his $100,000 investment had grown to $350,000. Ryan said that his mentor threatened to back out of their deal if he cashed out and bought something nice for his mother at the $350,000 mark.

Rather, Ryan revealed that his mentor informed him that he would check in with Ryan once a year to see how much the stock had grown, and Ryan revealed that it was just under $16 million this year.
