We show that when $\set {X_j} $ is a sequence of independent (but not necessarily
identically distributed) random variables which satisfies a condition similar to the Lindeberg
condition, the properly normalized geometric sum $\sum_ {j= 1}^{\nu_p} X_j $(where $\nu_p
$ is a geometric random variable with mean $1/p $) converges in distribution to a Laplace
distribution as $ p\to 0$. The same conclusion holds for the multivariate case. This theorem
provides a reason for the ubiquity of the double power law in economic and financial data.
