A person buys grains for 10 $ and sell them for 1 $ and he becomes a millionaire. How ?

The man was initially a billionaire ;)
He bought huge amount of rice (at $10) and sold it to poor people at affordable prices ($1).

In this process, he lost so much that he became a millionaire :D

Alternate solution:

Based on exchange rates, for every dollar he spends on rice in the U.S., he earns two Indian Rupees. So, he could become a millionaire in Rupees without spending a million U.S. dollars ;)
