Well, Ken, there are two ways to say this.
OK.
We can say either "Cary owns 〜（何々）."
OK.
Or "Cary is the owner of 〜（何々）."
All right.
Yeah, both are fine.
★ 全保有者両数は50台です

What do you do, Cary?
I own a space truck company called "Starshipers."
How did you get started?
During my college years I did odd jobs and people started hiring me to help them move fast to the other side of the earth, the moon and Mars, for example.
(Odd jobs are various small jobs that have to be done in someone's home, such as cleaning or repairing things.)
Oh, I see.
Then I bought a used space truck named Millennium Falcon 4 from a guy called Han Solo the Fourth. Now I have a fleet of 50 space tracks.
You've done well for yourself. May the force be with you.
(Han Solo the Fourth = ハン・ソロ4世)

Well done.
So here's the question.
Uh-huh.
Sure.
What was your first job ever?
My very, very first job was ... I was a babysitter.
You were.
Yes. Yes, I looked after my neighbor's children.
Oh, you did.
Yeah.
Wow. You've done well for yourself, Carolyn.
So have the kids I used to babysit.
(「キャロリン、成功されて何よりですね」との言葉に対して、「私がベビーシッターしていた子どもたちも成功したのよ」と返答している So have I. So do I. と同じような構文)
All right. How about you, Jeff?
Well, I wanted to buy my first guitar. So I got a job at a super market bagging groceries for ladies, for women.
Really.
Yeah.
You've done well for yourself too.
Well, I bought a really nice guitar with the money I got.
That's good too.
Wait a minute. So, Ken, what was your first job?
Well, I started out as a dishwasher.
Really?
Yeah.
Wow! That was your first job.
Yes. And I need that phrase from you... phrase.
Oh! You've really done well for yourself.
Well, thank you.
Well, I think we've done enough as mutual uh… admiration society members.
