      According to all known laws of logic, there is no way an idiot should be able to become rich. Its brain is too small to get its fat little ego off the ground. Timothy dexter, of course, gets rich anyway because idiots don't care what humans think is impossible.

    So Dexter was definitely lucky, but a lot of what made him rich was sending things to places that had never seen any. No one else would think to send stray cats to anyone, but when they’re sent somewhere with no cats, they become the only source of a new commodity.

      Sounds like he may have been a narcissistic sociopath.
      His education had nothing to do with making money and he picked that up at 8 to make money even quicker.
      He knew exactly how to get what he wanted, money and wealth, and completely willing to exploit people to do it. He abused his wife who that don't validate his ego. He had a grandiose self of self importance, seemingly lacked empathy, classic traits.

    Hoo boy.
    Dexter did not pester the city of Malden for office. By the time he married he was living in the city of Newburyport and it is that city he was a pest to.
    The image of his house is a mishmash of two houses he owned (in Newburyport). One was a square brick building that is now the city library. The other one, the one with the statues and the copula, is a white mansion.
    He did not randomly round up cats. He was paid by the city do do so because there was a feral cat problem in the city. But after he collected a bunch he was told that he could not just drown the cats, to be paid he would have to transport them somewhere.
