Highest Returns Ever ?

I am curious to hear about certain traders who achieved astronomical gains on their capital 10,000%+ returns.

Im not talking about fund managers who manage billions and take home billions rather individual investors and traders who have turned a small sum of money into a large sum.

So far on my list is:

Dan Zanger - Turned an initial stake of $11,000 into $42,000,000 in 2 years - 381,818%

Michael Marcus - $30,000 prop trading account to $80,000,000 in 20 years - 266,666%

Richard Dennis $400 to $200,000,000 in about ten years - 50,00,000%

Im interested in hearing about individual traders not fund managers.
