Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

With the $875,000 from his input alone he is really close to $1,000,000 and doing simple intrest on the $250,000 is $105,000 a year is he earns 3.5% intrest a month.

So in 5 years he'll have about $1,662,500 using simple intrest but with compound it'd be more like 2mil

Hope this helps!
