Owning stocks is one of the best ways to accumulate wealth over the long term. Index funds that track the S&P 500 have generated about 10 percent annual returns over time, but some individual stocks have performed significantly better and can be referred to as “100-baggers.”

These 100-bagger stocks are up more than 100 times over the past 20 years and come from a diverse group of industries.
