Some people during the Gold Rush had to sell everything they owner, in order to pay for transportation to California. In addition, merchants made lots of money from the gold rush; they sold everyday goods for a more expensive price. For example, a steamboat operator could make up to $40,000 in a month, just by helping people travel to California.
