      10millions is not an insurmountable amount if you are smart enough to get a good job and are smart enough when investing your money.

        we are talking accumulated savings not turnover. Either way 10M is well above average lifetime earnings.

          It’s also way below what you can earn with a single album or game hit. Sportsball players. GRR Martin makes 10m from book sales each year.

          No, those aren’t average cases but they’re also not examples of ill-gotten wealth.
