Best Answer

John Hancock gave his signature to the Declaration Of Independence. That's where we get the phrase "sign your John Hancock" came from. John Hancock also gave money! And lots of it. He backed some of the major events in the American Revolution. He was very wealthy. He got most of his money from illegal ways. Smuggling was a big one. He found ways to get around the laws that Britain had set forth.

John Hancock was adopted by his very wealthy land-owning uncle at a young age. After John's uncle died he was said to have inherited all of his uncle's fortune. His uncle passed down quite a bit of land that was the most expensive land in the area. This is how John Hancock became so rich in fact, John was called one of the richest men in his time.
