Slow Morning At JP Morgan Earned Jamie Dimon $7.25 Million In Pocket Change

Remember last winter, when Jamie Dimon was bored at work and decided to buy $26.6 million worth of his company's stock, just for, like, the f*ck of it? Turns out it wasn't his worst idea.

Back on February 11 of this year, Jamie Dimon, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co., made a highly publicized purchase of 500,000 shares of his own company's stock, worth about $26.6 million at the time. The stock ended up hitting a bottom that day and has surged more than 25 percent since then. Those 500,000 shares are now worth $33.85 million, gaining $7.25 million in value. The company's stock is now very close to a 52-week high that was set last November.
