My guess would be real estate. If you bought land in Nevada at any point in the 20th century and sold it prior to 2007, you'd probably have a fantastic rate of return (due to a combination of demand for residential housing in the Las Vegas area, and the US government buying and selling land in the rest of the state).

According to Wikipedia, he grew up in a very poor family and began working as a city attorney right out of law school (no high-paying Big Law jobs at any point). So if it wasn't real estate, the only other explanation I can think of is his wife and/or her family.
