In eve isk gets you just about whatever you want.... SO,
lets take some advice from the richest man in the world and see what he does with all that "extra money"
Every last billion of Bill Gates' dollars aren't sitting in a personal checking account... they're in the stock market, or in a small business, or in a new product. It's all invested making interest. That way he can have more money.
One thing in money holds ALWAYS holds true. The more you have to invest the more it works for you. Take the guy with the bps as an example. He has an alt waiting for them to turn out 100 bpcs and then he sells them all. He never has to hunt. Never has to mine. Never has to do anything he doesn't wanna do accept wait. It's the golden point in eve everyone should strive to be at.
Is he still the richest one ?
Wasnt it in the news last year or sumthing that the founder of IKEA was now the richest man in the world.

So everyone of you guys mined your way to billionare status?
 
Now come on,Ive heard lots of ppl talking about npcing,For like 100mill/hour,But they never want to tell how 
No,You dont have to tell me exact how you made your billions,But just in what way? Mining,NPCing?
I dont know about mining,But NPCing doesnt give too much money unless you find some rare items..Then there is these lvl 4 missions,Yea they seem good with loot and all...
But to the question,How did you get your first billion?

sorry to disagree with a fellow Brit but American is closer to traditional English than contemporary English is take for example the word fall, you will find this in a number of historical British documents. it is us who develop the word Autumn out of the blue.

Well as I mentioned before I was lucky in the agent lottery. Before that, I used to sell T2 stuff from bpcs and my wallet was always hovering around the 100mil mark. Never been much of a miner I'm afraid, even back in the early days.
I'm interested to know how people are getting their money working for them. Anyone want to give up a few secrets?

No isk is asset, what you are refering to is Fixed Assets. Fixed assets is something that is around more then a year and costs more then a few dollars. Did you know Accounts Receivable is an Asset as well. Really, some people should take an accounting course or two and learn what GAP means.
So if I took an accounting course I'd learn what *** and proud means?.... Interesting... would explain a couple ppl working for the government.

NPC trading at 60 million an hour. Until of course the trade route dried up.

Ok to all ppl fighting over Billion and milliard.
In french, milliard is still used as the 10^9 mark, and folowing milliard is billion. Are language wasn't affected by silyl americans, so it kinda is proof that yes milliard is correct and billion is a million million thats why its "bi", to make this more obvious for you all, its like bisexual, bi for two, so billion isnt 10^9. French for teh win!
Its milliard, get over it. Just cause your government changed the dictionnary to keep every banker from confusing their clients to death, doesn't make it right.

In dutch it's also miljard.
Anyway, one of the richest players would be webmaster who had the whole Techell corpwallet in his pocket. Though he and that large sum got banned for ebaying it.
Once again CCP struck swift and wise.

2.7bil for me.
Started out heading for first bil ripping off CA/SE/CFS in Agil, at commonly refered to "Agil Prices" 3 times here than most other places.
Before I got to bil, I pooled money with a close friend and we invested in a Tempest BPO, after a few months we used the profits to buy a Apoc BPO and several other "NEW" BPOS. Selling the "NEW" BPOs quickly doubled our worth.
Eventually sold most of our investments and assets off and split the cash and assets left.
Not sure how Im making money at the moment really, but constantly hovering about 2.7bil in cash dispite losing zealots as fast as I can buy them. 
btw: evamil me my membership card please.

Maybe a better club is The Big Spender's Club.
You can only enter if you're prepared to give the club 100mil or otherwise fritter away that sum of money. I automatically qualify because I recently lent a corp mate 450mil after thinking about it for all of twenty seconds
i droped 1.05bil on a shield booster yesterday without thinking? :)

I haven't mined since activating this account. A good portion of my wealth comes from corp theft and the mercenary business, the rest from agent missions which I'm whoring as of late to get my hands on a Caldari Navy Raven.

It really depends on how long you have been playing the game.
Yes, I originally made my first several billion by mining Ark. Then I used that money to buy BPOs to churn out BPCs and also to buy and sell minerals/loot/ships on the market. The market is very unstable and if you have the money to buy up cheap minerals/loot/ships and hold them until the market recovers you will make a very nice return on your money.
It wasn't that long ago that 50k rats were the scariest ones you would run across. Now though it is easy to make 10+ million an hour in just bounties. If you count the good loot and the recycled value of the bad loot, you can easily make 50-100 million a day. If you find an officer spawn then you can make several hundred million in a day or more.
It wasn't that long ago that missions were something you did just because you were bored. There sure wasn't any money to be made.
Now though, there are far too many ways to make billions in this game.

If you shop in the right places you can be a Eve Billionaire with as little at $255.00 US.
Stop griping about server instability and go buy an EVE mug!
Additionally with the purchase of each mug you will receive two(2) invisible Elves.
