Wacky WallWalker Toy Your mum sends you a toy from a foreign land and you being you start playing with it. Soon you realise the ideas potential and voila! you have a business idea. Thats exactly the story of Wacky WallWalker Toy. It is an octopus-like toy with several sticky feet. You would throw it on the wall and it would walk down  slowly. In 1983 Ken Hakuta in the US bought the rights for Wacky WallWalker Toy for $100,000 and eventually sold 240 million of those to make an estimated $80million. Sweet! 4. Doggles Dogs with goggles? Yeah, why not.  Doggles  is a commercial brand of  sunglasses  for  dogs  in the form of tinted  goggles  designed to fit the shape of a dogs head. Doggles were invented by Roni Di Lullo after she noticed her dog, Midknight, squinting in the sunlight. It was voted as one of the Most Useless Inventions in 2009 by Daily Mail. Yet, they were sent to the military dogs in Iraq. Costing around $80, they rake in millions a year. 3.

Tew make a whopping $ 1,037,100 gross. And he is still going strong! 2. Pet Rock In April 1975, Dahl was in a bar listening to his friends complain about their  pets. This gave him the idea for the perfect pet: a  rock.  A rock would not need to be fed, walked, bathed, groomed and would not die, become sick, or be disobedient. He said they were to be the perfect pets, and joked about it with his friends. That was it, Pet Rock was born and even though the craze only lasted a year, it made Dahl a millionaire in 6 months.
