No I haven't acted on one of the cybercriminal schemes I like to ponder. Got a cheque from the health insurance company just now, and I'm now about twice as wealthy as I was this morning! Aw yeah! 
Now I can afford 1 more minor surprise with the car in the next couple of months! 
This morning when i sold a valve cover.
Probably when I got my first real job, at around 14.
When I turned 18 and all the settlements from my parents deaths started becoming mine.
Last week my insurance company came through at the 11th hour and approved my two-level artificial disc surgery.
Didn't double my wealth... but it did lop a zero off of my up-front payment ($14000 to $1400)
(Redacted comments about nominal net worth and spouse's spending habits)
Never, and since I have a house payment I have negative net worth.
So I wouldn't consider myself as having any wealth.
All the time but 2*0 is still 0.

Well by that measure I'm only slighly less anti-wealthy! But I learned my lesson, no more big projects after this!
By "big project" I mean something that could pass for a LeMons build. So basically just 2-3 mods at a time from now on.
Sold all of my stock a few years ago.
Sold second companies public stock after sale. Only time I have ever truly doubled the money I had on hand.

Was that before or after taxes? 
It used to happen to me often in my 20's and my grandfather was reducing his portfolio by sending checks to the grandchildren every year... Unfortunately, I was young and stupid back then and have little to show for that money now...
When I was a kid, I found 10 bucks...once.
maybe not instantly.. but going from "casual" work to full time doubled gross income (it also moved me up a couple of tax brackets.. so I do not see that much of the increase.. but the work is at least more steady)
When I take the empties back to the beer store.
One time I had a dollar in my pocket and decided to buy a scratch off ticket. I won two dollars. That was a long time ago.

After taxes but before AMT put a big dent in the amount.
Every payday?
Debt to net worth... Lets not go there.
Every year around March. Kids = little tax deductions
