Only 6,000 people on that list. EVE has 300,000 subscribers at least. If I had the tools to easily analyse the data there statistically I could give you a rough estimate of the real numbers. |

I think I would say that it's all common sense.
First, look how long most of them have been playing. The guy in number one is 6 years old.
Then, don't spend more than you make. Save Save Save
Don't fly what you can't afford to replace. double that, don't fly what you can't replace two times over.
If you sell stuff, sell it for more than mineral costs. If you farmed that stuff, sell if for less then everyone else.
If you can't mine 250 billion in six years, I have to wonder how in the hell you're able to use a mouse and keyboard. You can mine with the exact same fitted ship for 6 years. If you can't reach 9 figures in that amount of time mining, you've got to be the dumbest soul on the planet.
If you can't get into the hundreds of billions in 6 years of EVE, you're doing something wrong, or you don't care.
I'd be more impressed if I saw someone with 200 billion, that wasn't 6 years old, and didn't get it selling PLEX.
If I had started doing what I'm doing now, 6 years ago, I'd be a trillionaire in EVE today.
You don't need to be very smart to make that much ISK in EVE. It's not like there's an overwhelming number of ISK sinks |

The list is only for people who have registered.
I know 2 people who are worth over 1 Trillion ISK.
It is now much more difficult to make mega sums, as most came from game mechanics. i.e. Amongst the 300K player base there were people who were as smart/smarter than the developers and found their mistakes and exploited them.
examples:
escrow camping public and private auctions early salvage (which had no use in game, and smart people horded until a patch found a use and prices spiked. Bought for 10 ISK and sold for 10,000 per item) original T2 BPO's Ship Insurance moon minerals patch changes
CCP are like the tax man, always trying to close the loop holes. Look at the first person on the list (Akita T), made most of their cash from the changes in moon minerals and patch changes.
p.s TITANS 4U, didn't make much cash but walked off with about 4-6 Titan BPO's and some Titan BPC's. |

Are these mega rich players your average joe or are they applying their real life trades to EvE?
Regards
Barrak I will give you a hint. Anyone in RL that is rich beyond belief is too busy making real wealth to play this game. So to answer your question these are all average joe's.
Most who are rich beyond belief don't actually do much of anything anymore. Since after you reach a certain point most of your income will come from investments. Which might I add is usually handled by someone else
edit: The page finally loaded, and 260bn is far less then the top should be at. The top I would wage to be in the 1tn to 1.2tn range. This would ofc depend on liquidity of their assets and if they even bother keeping all their isk on 1 character. |

The list just proves that those that talk about their wealth aren't that wealthy. |

Barrak wrote:Hey, I was gobsmacked after seeing this link in another thread somewhere...... http://eveboard.com/fullranks/47-most-iskI was wondering if any of these top earners use their real life knowledge on EvE mechanics..... what I mean by this are the highest earners all traders in real life or accountants or financial analysts? I had no idea that there was the potential to earn that much ISK in game and if my memory serves me right.... that is straight up ISK and doesn't include assets.....which, again, is staggering. Anyhows..... just curious Regards Barrak
I'm actually 51 on that list.
As for what I do, I'm a freelancer by trade - which doesn't particularly do much for me in game.
Unless any corp or alliance is looking to start doing RL events and needs a skilled tech :)
However, it's worth noting that that's just eveboards list, how that compares to people in game is entirely a different matter. |
