By reading this,even with dated data, you can pretty much extrapolate to today's standard.

If you using it to data mine gullible people for suicide ganking logistic, then good ploy Big smile

Having ingame friends who won't **** you over for any amount of isk that is and is gonna be listed here ...

You'll find that less then people with 1 T in their pocket Roll.

Wealth: 445 mill liquid, 400 mill assets
Income: 10-20 mill / day
Method: Level 4 Missioning, Salvaging
What do you think qualifies as rich? Buying whatever you want, not having to grind for PLEX.

I think another important data point for comparison against Income would be
Activity Level: 4 hrs/day, once or twice a week.

there was a devblog about this,

or at least the average amount of isk in peoples wallets.

i think by and large most had 100m or less


rich depends on what you do,

if you pay for accounts with a card and dont like to fly expensive things then like 5b is rich


if you fly supercarriers with 8 accounts all plexd then 200b is rich

Average players don't read the forums, let alone post, especially in MD. There's your first mistake.

148.227B assests and cash with almost a 50/50 split.
Income?
As much as it takes to buy 5 PLEX, after that I stop caring.

How?
Doing stuff.

Rich enough to mess with Jita's PLEX market for lolz would be interesting.

wealth: keeps fluctuating between 2 and 3 B

method: invention

Daily income: varies, depending on sales and luck (screw the chance based invention system EvilEvilEvil)

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Walth: 45b cash, 40b more in assets
Income: varies, ~300m an hour when I play, but I don't play every day. 4b a month typically. And of course this doesn't count pvp losses, sometimes zero sometimes a bil or two a month lost. Or just being lazy, as there hits a point where you have enough and CBA to do more.
Method: stuff
What do you think qualifies as rich? Rich is having enough isk to easily afford whatever you want to fly. For most people, 100m an hour and 1-2b in assets is enough.

Cash: 8b
Assets: maybe 15-20b (rough guess, not counting any faction mods)
Income: Active averages about 70m/hr, Passive, well that varies depending on everyone else clicky fingers.
Methods: Mining, Missioning, and uber market manipulations (Noctis/Teir 3 Bc release are a couple big ones) (3 accounts)

Rich? I consider myself rich, b/c at this point i can afford almost whatever i want to do, if i want to buy out all of items in GALAXY to raise price and manipulate market, generally i can.

But somoene said earlier, having friends that won't screw you for anything is very important in feeling well-off in this game.

Somewhere randomly around 120b or so worth of assets. Liquid ISK fluctuates wildly between 1-10b depending on whatever crazy spaceship fitting plan I'm trying to sell to the rest of my alliance at the time. I sometimes make isk on random speculation buying up particular modules and ships (but just as often fail).

When I try I can probably make a couple of hundred million a day with exploration/missions/whatever - keep thinking I should be doing large-scale market trading but that might be a plan for next year.

In conclusion income isn't really a problem - I do tend to fly cheapish ships because I'm a great believer in using the same fits I want the youngest recruits to be using.

The True Knowledge is that nothing matters that does not matter to you, might does make right and power makes freedom

Walth: umm....whats walth? Couldnt find it in the dictionary, ignoring...

Method: Exploration
What do you think qualifies as rich? : not caring about losing that capital ship, can just buy a couple more.

Lucky you, my phone book is just a list of names and numbers, pretty damn boring.

But your one? Can we see a copy, id love to read a phone book thats both interesting and informative and yet strangely hard to put down, just like a good novel. From what I have seen in phone books the world over, yours is an exceptional one, and would be well worth having a read.
