I don't have, or ever had, that kind of money, and frankly I don't think I'll ever need it.

I can purchase, fit and replace (multiple times) any subcapitals I fancy, and I fancy quite a lot of different ones as of lately.

100 billions through High Sec grinding? What for?

Are you going to stop grinding forever now? Was it a goal you set for yourself years ago?

Was it fun amassing that much and only ever flying a BS/Noctis/Hulk?

Anyways, congratulations if that's what you wanted, and do something stupid, reckless and FUN with that.

Wrong direction, her other comment clarifies:

Is it even that much?
Last I saw a figure on it, it was in the mid-hundreds, but that was a year or two ago and I suppose it should be higher by now.

e: …or maybe that was just wallet, rather than total assets.

Victoria Sin Doomheim Likes received: 719	#27 - 2013-08-21 10:41:33 UTC Congrats. I've only got 10b isk. On the basis that you don't fly what you can't afford to lose (actually for me I don't fly anything that's more than 10% of my wealth), you can probably afford some serious bling. Just don't post it :).

All right...LOWER middle class.
Through years of grinding in high sec, with a stint in null sec that REALLY boosted my NAV, I have reached 100 billion.

Now, for the scammers, traders and null sec folks, who are worth at least an order of magnitude more, 100 Billion is tip money.

But it is a step in the right direction.
But a trillion will never happen, unless I move back to null sec.

Then where is your monocle????

I've said it before, if everyone had 100 billion you wouldn't be paying 500 mill for a Plex. Gratz on the milestone in any case That is nonsense. Average player usually has about 500 million at best.

I would say at least 30% of that was accrued in a 9 month stint in null sec.
I have done pretty much everything this game has to offer, except piracy and scamming.
I have run L4's, done null sec ratting and industry, built T3's in wh's, built dreads and carriers in low sec stations, run incursions, and failed miserably at trading

I have also lost billions in ships in null sec wars and wh battles, and still have assets trapped in some null sec stations that will likely never be liberated.

As for doing something fun with it, I try to keep adding to the cash buffer (Only a small fraction of that 100B Nav), but it always seems that whatever activity I am focused on always could use an module or ship upgrade, or a new blueprint, or whatever.
