He likely made it through illegal activities—principally bootlegging. The novel never gives a fully confirmed account (Nick remains unsure), but Gatsby’s ties to Meyer Wolfsheim and the rumors about selling illegal liquor point to bootlegging rather than inheritance or a legitimate drugstore chain.
