since it would take all of somers money to buy all of entities (or chribbas) assets, sure entity is the richest man alive?

I'm worth about two trillion and it'll rise as assets appreciate post-Odyssey, but I'm far from the richest in the game. Plenty of people with a significant head start on me, opportunities that don't exist anymore, etc.

On the other hand, many parts of Entity's collection he would never, ever sell, which you could argue makes them valueless. "Priceless" can go both ways. Blink


Somer may or may not be as rich as Blink would imply. Sure, players have won 750T which would imply an upper end of about 20% of that (150 trillion), but... how much of those winnings are off of credit, either from promos or credit earned off of a win? How much does he spend on those promos? What's his employee take? And, so on and so forth. It's hard to say anything definitive about him other than "yeah he's ridiculously wealthy" and "I wish I'd thought of that first."

just to add, if somebody would finally start telling us his ISK value of assets and deposits we might get the others to tell us the amount as well, so I start with mine, and as long as nobody else tells something higher, I'm the richsest one for the paper :)

700 million :)

Entity is the most asset-rich technically, since he has ships that he would never sell and that are unique.

Somer has pulled in at least 50T from blink, probably more.

I've also heard some stories about T2 BPO cartels back in the day pulling in excess of 200T between their members, but I have no idea if that is true.

I'm rich enough to buy anything I want to fly faction fitted and lose it and only care about having to refit (except supers)
Is that enough?

PS: Don't forget sirmolle, that guy has quite a bit


http://eveboard.com/fullranks/47-most-isk is from eveboard

And most of those people on there aren't even in the top ISK list since there's alot of people that don't have eveboard

Adjusting for inflation are we?

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

I'd be surprised if >25% of it would be ISK.

My assets (roughly):
10% in ISK
20% in PLEX
10% in ship T1 hulls (essentially minerals)

10% in T2 BPOs (mostly bad investment nowadays, but those memories...)

20% in items I expect to appreciate in value over a long period of time (currently some in tier 1/2 battleships, some good moon goo, no longer seeded items)
10% in items that I think will appreciate in the short run (recently ice); when i expect deflation, it'll be another stack of ISK

10% in oustanding credit (varies)

10% in assorted other stuff (T2 modules/ships; deadspace, officer, ice, etc.)

So roughly 40%-50% is invested, 40% are reasonably safe and liquid assets (PLEX, T1 ships, ISK) with a small rest being difficult to liquidize assets.

When I was poor, I didn't have much of my assets as PLEX, only ever enough to cover my accounts for the foreseeable future (2 years or so). When I got richer I actually increased the relative amount I was holding in PLEX, figuring it to be future-proof and giving me enough to draw on for the rest of my eve life (both for PLEXING as well as for liquidation). Now that I am richer still, the percentage of my assets in PLEX has decreased (I am no longer adding too it in absolute terms), as it seems pointless and kinda mean to tie it up.

In the past there was some working capital (POSes in space, BPCs that are running), but I mostly left that behind. Back thenr that stuff wouldn't have been on my balance sheet as listed above (I'd usually "write it off" once put into action, obvs. still factoring it in as cost for any profit calculations).

Karsa what's your liquid amount? I've sold around 80% of my assests just convenience sake so I have money when I need it. But that puts me at just shy 5 bil. So I feel really comfortable but I know I'm in the bottom percent Of wealth on eve.

I've seen individuals trade in multiple trillions.

Obviously, none are as wealthy as I, but the runner ups are pretty well loaded.

yea i would put 30% at least in plex, the rest maybe in limited ships as much as i can get, not sure yet if the market has tendency to inflate or deflate, thats what I want to find out, it depends a lot what the wealthiest will do or how they allocated their ISK

And there are people in this universe who know the price of everything and the value of nothing Blink

I would never allow my wallet to get to anything like trillions, because I don't know what comes after 'trillions'. I could google it, but meh, effort.

Right now I have perhaps a billion isk in liquid cash, as I'm flipping assets and immediately plowing the cash into other investments.

In six months that number will probably be quite a lot larger though...
