Noobious Caldari Provisions Caldari State 0	Posted - 2012.12.31 15:32:00 - [1] - Quote For those players with multiple billions of (liquid) isk, how do you manage it? I'm only wondering how you handle your isk... no investments in other player schemes or assets. I see two methods: Keep it all in your wallet A market typo could wipe you out Single person corp Use corp wallet divisions as "bank accounts" What if you want to stay in an NPC corp? Any other ideas?
Othran Route One 346	Posted - 2012.12.31 15:36:00 - [2] - Quote Put it on the least used alt and buy a spread of shiptypes. Covers inflation once you find the right shiptypes.
Lexmana 789	Posted - 2012.12.31 15:37:00 - [3] - Quote Noobious wrote: A market typo could wipe you out Well, that would solve the problem with having multiple billions alright. But I expect most players to have an alt corp that keeps their personal fortune in a non-active wallet division.
Jace Errata Caldari Provisions Caldari State 351	Posted - 2012.12.31 15:40:00 - [4] - Quote I'd answer this question... If I had large amounts of ISK. Stealth OST puns and blatant lies since 2009 Jace Errata on Twitter One day they woke me up so I could live forever It's such a shame the same will never happen to you
Jenavee De'amore Perkone Caldari State 164	Posted - 2012.12.31 15:47:00 - [5] - Quote Not entirely sure that players with that amount of isk do it on their own (must be rare). I've known players to have 100's of bil in wallet and make billions in income from just running a large corp, maybe they were doing something on the side I wasn't aware of. Wish I knew too :( It would probably be boring having all that isk anyway :D Try to look unimportant; they may be low on ammo....
Wacktopia Noir. Black Legion. 368	Posted - 2012.12.31 16:12:00 - [6] - Quote Definitely do not keep it on your main, you got that part right. Getting scammed or running a typo is all too easy if you buy stuff a lot or in a hurry. Keeping it in your corp wallet is also risky unless you are in a one-man corp or never give out director access to it. I recommend creating an alt toon on your main account, train up corp management, create a one-man corp and keep it there. By keeping it in the corp wallet you can use the alt for other purposes without the risk of acciendtally spending the ISK. Call the toon something to remind you not to biomass it. Investing in assets like ships or plex is a two way street. It could save you from ISK devaluation but it could also lose you money if the availability of the asset shot up for some reason and the price fell. Of course making a large sum of money work for you is not so hard if you are careful and patient. The bottom line is that now I have one of those annoying signatures.

Ginger Barbarella Caldari Provisions Caldari State 1041	Posted - 2012.12.31 17:10:00 - [9] - Quote Because we all know that nullbears are ju--- Oh, wait; sorry... Force of habit. This isn't a null v high sec thread. My bad. Carry on. Fly Minmatar Air --- "Trust in the Rust!"
Rengerel en Distel Amarr Science and Industry 865	Posted - 2012.12.31 17:15:00 - [10] - Quote I don't have tons of isk, but i generally keep a couple billion in the main wallet division, then keep my market funds in another, station rent in another, etc. if you make a market typo and lose billiions, it's the price you pay for not paying attention.
Sorlac Sebiestor Tribe Minmatar Republic 10	Posted - 2012.12.31 17:32:00 - [11] - Quote Blow it all on Quafe and strippers.

Rakshasa Taisab Sane Industries Inc. 1075	Posted - 2012.12.31 18:00:00 - [13] - Quote Only time I have billions in wallet is when selling down on one stockpile and looking for something to invest in. Alt wallet or invest is the answer. Nyan
Skorpynekomimi 348	Posted - 2012.12.31 18:22:00 - [14] - Quote I don't like keeping that much ISK around. It always seems to get spent, and my count of ships and skills always seems to keep going up... But hey, I love billion+ of ships.
Demolishar United Aggression 648	Posted - 2012.12.31 18:36:00 - [15] - Quote I love the idea of multiple billions being a big deal. The most I've ever had liquid has been just under 50 billion isk. I tend to re-invest isk as soon as I come by it. I like to keep a 5 billion liquid fund for emergencies.
Asuka Solo Stark Fujikawa Stark Enterprises 1961	Posted - 2012.12.31 18:44:00 - [16] - Quote 90% of it stays in my personal wallet on one of my main toons... I stick about 2 bil into the holding corps wallet to cover alliance expences and buybacks on a monthly basis, and I put about 1 bil aside for the alliance's incaseshit fund. Alliance profits go to the holding corp... Interest goes to my wallet. Eve is about Capital ships, WiS, Boobs, PI and Isk!
Simetraz State War Academy Caldari State 743	Posted - 2012.12.31 18:56:00 - [17] - Quote Truthfully a couple billion ISK is not much to worry about. So yes all of the above plus you start buying items. A lot of player end up purchasing BPO's or collecting ships or both. Maybe there is someone out there with 100 bill in there wallet who knows to each there own I guess. EVERYBODY KNOWS
Diremage Stability Critically Disrupted Seekers of the Unseen 41	Posted - 2012.12.31 19:02:00 - [18] - Quote Someone send me a large sum of ISK and I'll tell you what I do with it
Randolph Rothstein whatever corp. 269	Posted - 2012.12.31 19:03:00 - [19] - Quote i sell all my isk to various rmt sites i have already made almost 5 cents from it
ctx2007 Wychwood and Wells Beer needs you 250	Posted - 2012.12.31 19:14:00 - [20] - Quote create alts and move your dosh to them with out the tempation of spending it, for a rainy day. You only-árealise you life has been a waste of time, when you wake up dead.

Dheeradj Nurgle Dreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 149	Posted - 2012.12.31 19:43:00 - [23] - Quote I never have more than a billion liquid. Everything is invested in ships, and PLEX..
Seetesh Celestial Serenity Incorporated 12	Posted - 2012.12.31 19:44:00 - [24] - Quote I buy up large assets and tech 2 bpos or a variety of ships as isk sinks. I keep the majority of my isk on an alt account along with bpos and rare ships. Isk wise my alt holds around 142bil and about the same in assets. I often transfer money across when dual boxing and typically only keep 2b and below on my active toon. Along with an assortment of ships and assets. It is important to split up large amounts of isk and assets to avoid scams or typos when your mental faculties are degraded. A few of my friends keep all of their money on there main accounts and have often fallen victims to market scams.

I'm merely asking how others manage the immediate, liquid isk portion of their wealth.

Yatama Kautsuo Tencus 64	Posted - 2012.12.31 19:56:00 - [27] - Quote since i bought a cheetah for 180 millions because of a market typo i send every isk over 400 mill to an alt :) will not save me from another 180mill covert ops but from more expensive errors :D but seems like not everyone does this as someone donated me 2.5 billions in isk (payed 1 mill each for 2.8k tripped power circuit hehe)
Ptraci 3 R Corporation The Irukandji 1137	Posted - 2012.12.31 19:57:00 - [28] - Quote Buy PLEX with it. Sell it with a profit if you need cash again. PLEX is kind of like a stripped government bond. No coupon, so no interest. But it can still have a yield...
Andski GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 6143	Posted - 2012.12.31 20:02:00 - [29] - Quote I do whatever our finance guys are doing with their ISK. ~a proud belligerent undesirable~ TheMittani.com: The premier source for news, commentary and discussion of EVE Online and other games of interest. ~~~~i am god~~~~

The "seed" of my market success was someone that sold me a Phoenix for 1.5m, back when there weren't so many big warnings.
