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. |

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.

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.

it may sound very philosophic, but it really isnt...
OP didnt ask "when does your heart tell you you beeing rich?"
he simply asked for pure numbers

Then the OP is asking the wrong question.
Well, no. Not quite true.
If his purpose in Eve, if his end that the wealth is a means to, is simply accumulating enough wealth to be considered "wealthy", then his question is apt.

Hngh, this thread makes me feel like a p00rfag again. Too bad I suck **** at doing anything on the market.
To answer the question though, who even cares. Once you have above like 30-40bil, there is virtually no way to lose it all and become dirt poor unless you manage to lose super blinged ships constantly or decide to buy a super.
I'd love to have more than a trillion isk, but tbh I don't know what I'd do with it. I guess I would probably try to buy and fly all of the AT ships, but meh. Point is that as long as you can plex all of your accounts each month, and manage to maintain roughly the same amount of isk in total assets non-stop then you're rich enough. |

My two cents:
1 million isk is the equivalent of about 30 cents US (depending on the price of plex).
1 billion isk is about 30 USD.
1 trillion isk is about 30 thousand USD.
100 trillion isk is about 3,000,000 USD.
So... in terms of investing in a game.... if you have 1 trillion isk (and you could convert isk to dollars), you would be able to buy a car. How many people would trade a car (nice one at that) for eve? I would say that somewhere around the 100 billion mark or so you can start to say you're eve rich. If you have 1 trillion or more you're allowed to own a vault in order to swim in your own isk. 100 trillion and you clearly need to find a more challenging (and possibly less expensive) hobby. |

In my experience, most people who publicly discuss their income level tend to be either self-decieved or outright lying. They're the same people who watch every tiny penny swing of the market, or get excited/start madly theorycrafting about anyone spending a significant amount of money in it. Neither of which are indicative of being "comfortable" within the upper ISK levels. |

And this is why RMT is hard to enforce and will never end untill the game goes offline.

From personal experience, you are wealthy , rich , independent, socially secure, when you stop caring about ISK in general.
"I want that ship, that fit, that stuff." And you just buy it. And you don't care.
