I know there are rich players. Ones that have 10 - 35 billion either on hand or in assets. But what about 50 billion? Or even better 75 and 100 billion. Do you think that represents the top 5% of EVE? Or is is kinda standard. What is Bill Gates / Ophrah Winfrey rich in Eve?

Based on what? you really going to argue that there are a large number of players that personally are worth more than a trillion isk with no evidence to back it up?

The template on passive profit in EVE is 1% at the top so a player with 75 Billion could plex their account in passive income from that ISK. I'd say there is 5% of EVE in that group and they are former CEO's of massive alliances that fell apart over the years, the said CEO's took the money and run.

Plex has always said more for me than anything forums say or even API sites and wallets. Because we know what a wealthy server looks like thanks to the Chinese server, Serenity we can see where Plex would be if everyone was filthy rich. There Plex go for 2 billion the last I read anything on it. Because we have 600 mill Plex at most, I suspect most players are under the 75 Billion mark.

The way I always looked at it in relative terms :

Eve Billionaire ~ RL Millionaire
Eve Trillionaire ~ RL Billionaire


It's nice to have a billion isk but when it comes down to it yer still limited much like if you had 1 million USD
RL billionaires use to be in a really small group but now a days they seem to be springing up everywhere much like Eve Trillionaires.

common sense...

when every random 99%-scrublord can have 100bn and more, there must be some more dudes having trillions+

I dont want to ruin ur illusion of beeing rich, but like I said, 3 years ago there have been many dudes (thats just those I knew), having way more than a trillion, and they havent quit after reaching that mark.

if you have 50bil liquid and maybe another 50bil in assets/chars etc. you are nothing.

100bil liquid? is nothing :)
Unless you have the 100bil invested all the time profiting for you, if you just have a bunch of bils they are not worth much because they will finish soon.

ppl like somer/chribba/goon market dude/akita/lamu (sorry for the wrong spelled name and ppl i forgot) have a ******* costant income of isk that's why I would consider them RICH.

My anecdotal evidence is better than your anecdotal evidence because I like to beg the question. Here's my penis: ******************************************************************

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.

I think being wealthy in eve is being able to do what you want, when you want, without worrying about what you're doing. In those terms, there are plenty of wealthy people in eve.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

Well - if you really want to know

Have a look at the ISK stats from CCP Diagnos (or something) posted while he was doing his stats of EVE.

I'm still working on breaking the top 2% :D

This guy has the right answer, though. Wealth in eve is a means to an end, and if you can achieve that end, you're wealthy in the only way that matters.
