    He retired at the age of 42 from printing.
  • You sir, have won the contest. Well done!

    Ben Franklin retired in 1748 at the age of 42. And then went on to achieve greater feats then anyone could have ever imagined: electricity, declaration of independence, alliance with France, treaty with Britain, the U.S. Constitution, just to name a few.

    Hey! keep up the good work. I can't wait to get rich.

    Honestly, I had to look it up and didn't really get a clear answer, but he retired from printing in 1748 and kept doing other political stuff until he died in 1790.
  • Tom,

    Sooooo close. You had the right year, but I had asked his age... see deviousmedia's comment and my reply below.

    Secondly, be patient. Nothing worth a damn in this life is easily achieved.

    Finally, thanks so much for the feedback!!

    Cheers.

    Ethan
    P.S. Better luck in the next contest :)
