  • Small investor's big win from Trade Me sale ()

It was the sale of the century - the $700 million purchase of online auction house Trade Me by the Fairfax group.

And it wasn't just founder Sam Morgan and his family who did well out of it. There were several other smaller investors.

Fiona Campbell was one of them who walked away with millions when it sold. But just like the Morgans, Fiona has an altruistic side. She says there's only so many shoes and handbags a woman needs. So what is Fiona Campbell doing with her money?

Jendy Harper went to Wanaka to find out.
