If you qualify to be an accredited investor (more than $1 million in net worth, excluding your home equity, or you make $200,000 per year if single or $300,000 per year if married), you may want to consider angel investing. Angel investors make investments in early stage startup companies. These companies may still be developing their product / service and are in very early stages of raising money. In exchange for making these early investments, you will be able to purchase shares of the company at hopefully a very low valuation compared to what the company may some day be worth. While very risky, since many startups fail, angel investing provides an opportunity for significant returns if the company is successful and its value grows over time.
