The Martinos had two sons, John and Joel.
She was the book keeper at the 1st franchised Mcdonald's and worked for free for the first 9 months and little pay after that, she was eventually given 10% of the company!
10 years later she cashed in part of her holdings for $300,000 (worth 1.7 million today) and kept the rest worth 5 million (28 million today).
