So here we are. Eve has now been running for approaching 4 years!!
A question I often ponder is how many "Individual" players have actually managed to amass a personal worth in excess of 1 Trillion isk (1,000 billion) ??
This means that they as an individual are worth that amount - not their alliance, or their corp, or all their friends and them together. Just an individual.
Anyone have any ideas of who may be in this league?
I suspect there are not too many, but it is an interesting question. |

I've had a long time friend who started playing EVE around the same time as me, but unlike my diverse interests, he has devoted the majority of his two and a half years in eve making isk and has profited his way into the hundreds of billions in isk and assets. He's worth at least 400 billion and counting, so I would not be surprised if there are others who have played longer who have hit a trillion isk, though I don't have the privilage of knowing one. I rather doubt you will get many who come forward and say so, since wardecs are easy to throw around these days and they have a nasty habit of cutting into profit margins. Good luck finding them.  --- "I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap jaw space does a raw blink in Hari-Kari rock! I need scissors! 61!" |

It'd be cool if someone could put together a script to determine the total market value of your assets. That would be taking everything you own from ships to modules, plus your skills, and put a value on it by taking the average market value of all those things. Add that to cash on hand and there's your net worth. There would also have to be some factor in for the value of all the skillpoints trained.

You can be a Trillionaire today!
Only things needed: -Access to test server -Alot of patiente
What to do: - buy the most expensive ship you can fly - buy a gun and fit it to said ship - insure ship - undock and attack a station gun / concord / whatever that causes agro - repeat from step 1 till you reached 1 Trillion
Kidding asside, obviously getting to 1 billion is allready quite a accomplishment for quite some people. Those who are don't say because of the following stuff: - Harrasment (please give me isk mails / convo's, someone posted a hulk bpo owners name on the forum and i still wonder how many evemails he recieved for a cheap hulk) - Griefing (constant wardecs whenever not in a new player experience corp, possible hate attention comming down if you don't "comply" with the give me isk mails / convo's etc) - hacking attempts (isk to real life cash convert oppertunity, also see a more recent dev blog as people get hacked for far less)
Also that person can never know for sure who are his real friends anymore once the word is out (this also applies to reallife, have a look at life before and after mayor lottery wins). I actually discourage people from giveing out any notice about ingame status even, specially the skillpoint part and their wealth just to prevent a budload of problems later on (private / corp skillpoint dumps are ok as an convo paste anywhere else can be denied as fabricated anyway because the owner did not make a hardcopy unlike on a specific site where people upload their xml data to).
Just do not give people a reason to hack you as it only causes you anger and a character reroll may be the only solution to get rid of the negative attention (possibly ccp would be willing to do that if you allready done so and have serieus harrasment issues though).

Yeah, he actually took about 50-100b at most, unremarkable.
I know someone who sells to STUFF corporation; he has slowly amassed a vast T2 portfolio over the years through investing and trading (few lottery wins though). Though not all of what he sells to STUFF is owned by him, the total profit-per-year of his portfolio is around 650 billion.
Dr Scope probably has slightly higher than that amount, so he's definitely nearing or at a trillion.
And I, pathetic me, still only have like 60b

No he had about 60b, if that. After he got banned he admitted on another forum that he didn't net anywhere near 700b.
And yes, the SS was fake.

To have 1 trillion ISK in your wallet would basically mean a profit of about 1 billion a day, for 3 years...

The truly valuable stuff does not have a "market" value, a script would be useless.

You wouldn't be anywhere near 1 trillion isk.
Alliance leaders could have a trillion ISK in their wallets easily, and not even by exploiting complexes or whatever.
I'd imagine Remedial setting Goonfleet's tax to 100% for a week or two would put their corp wallet up a couple hundred billion ISK pretty easily if they aren't at war during that time, and just carebear it up.
Think of say, 2000 players spending 3 hours a day making 20mil isk/hour npcing/missioning. 60m isk each day from those 2000 players, 120,000,000,000 a day. Do it for a couple weeks and that's an easy trillion+ ISK for whoever decides to empty the wallet and run.

There was one person in eve who's assets I estimated well over a trillion ISK, maybe two. But that was quite a few months ago, this statement is no longer true.
Even with a very modest appraisal, it was well over a trillion.
Please note the "person" vs "corporation represented by person". It makes a world of difference, especially in the t2 production market where high-volume high-end production cannot be realistically sustained by 3 people, let alone one.
Wait, now that I think of it, there was a second one, but I'm not sure if he's in it for himself or he's corporate.

Even with all the space the goonies now claim, there's not enough low enough true security systems to support 3,000 people making 20 million isk an hour. But, I digress.
I have a screenshot of Istvaan Shoggaatsu's wallet at over 225 billion isk. GHSC services don't come cheap, appearantly...

Nice twist but everyone can access the test server if your account is not paid for by GTC (those are only updated at live server) or if your account was not deactive at the test server mirror. On TQ you cant profit at all trough this but you can be a trillionair at the TEST server (not that it matters alot there anyway .
Obviously this part about the test server is a JOKE you cannot magicly import your isk from test server to live server. More funny with the next mirror on test server your isk is gone. If you did not know: test server has all market objects placed at 100 isk only so when you loose any ship you allready profit.
About the real scams (the ones that involve tranquility / LIVE server money) yes many of those are by missing game design (eve bank for example, no guarantee you would ever see a single isk). The problem however is that in those cases it is just a matter of trustworthyness. Someone seeing wow people allready invested X billion in this only invites more and more to take the money and walk away. With a bit of throughly thought out plan about the risk (hmm there is nothing that will guarantee i get a set ammount of isk each month asside of this person hisword). Then you should reach the conclusion ok if i get screwed up what could i afford to loose, don't just pump the total net value of your whole assets in it as that is like giveing away your wallet and pincode to an stranger who says to you on the street he can double your money.
The problem in these certain cases is often a player creates an out of ccp's control website about his / her investment plan. Then he / she says ok people listen i can double your money by investments i know i can (pressents niffy website which causes some of afforementioned people to get dollar signs in their eyes and only hear the sound *katjing*). Up till now ccp had no rule which says people cannot do this, because they either didn't think of it or they just know they cannot police 100's of sites and people each day because they suspect something smells fishy. Now a scam is pulled of janking a big BIG load of hard earned isk from people. Ccp has to think it out well he did not break any rules we had setup so by takeing actions they could actually step into a situation where they could possibly be suid reallife if the person is really willing to bring it that far.
Other games have scamming (a sword with similar picture tradeing for the price of that mega uber rare pricey sword for example) pnly there it affects less people in most cases because there is no real investment oppertunity there. In eve however there is a much more indept market which allows for far more possibilities. Take for example ISS their outpost investment oppertunity, none knew it was legit or not but still people thrown alot of isk their way. It is just hard to say what is and what is not legit specially if your own rules did not provide protection at all to warrent any action.
I do not like scams either but atleast with a bit of thinking you can prevent getting burned or at least burned to badly by many of them.

It is hard to value all of the tech 2 bpos since those are the assets in game that actually earn you more isk easily. I couldn't tell you what mine are worth (because I really don't know), but I make somewhere around 3.6 to 4.0 B isk/month from running them.
Course I get about 1-2B isk worth of ships blown up every month, so I am still gaining. Getting to 1000B isk...that would take too damn long, or you need a hulk bpo dropped in your lap.

I think there would be very few single people with more than a trillion in assetts (less than 10), however people representing corps would account for a fair few 'trillionaires' in eve. It all depends on how you value assets really. ----------------------

Vaga BPO only produces profit of 80B a year, so to reach 1000B it would take 12.5 years. T2 has not been in game that long.
10/10s produce about 1B per day farmed and to reach 1000B it would take about 2.74 years of farming.
c is actually the most likely of the events described, even though I don't think it is possible...
Sadly, to make that kinds of money the best propable way of doing it is through T1 market. Ammo, ships and mods sales in large quantities to alliances and spread around in empire hubs... I think the pendelum war final report calculated the loses in that campaing to 17Tril. So whoever supplied them, prolly has at least 1 Trill isk... ___ P.S. Post with your main.

Yes, but the insurance money you get is equal to what you paid for the ship not the ship value on tranquility.
Second of all, you cannot transfer money from test server to tranquility so there is no point.

But anyway, why on earth would you need corp mates to produce bulk t2? I know someone who has 99 Ship BPOs and handles it all solo. All you need is what everyone in eve needs: lots of accounts.

My bets:
Entity probably has close to 1T in assets and is a t2 producer, inventor.
I am pretty sure there are a few market players out there who control over 1T in assets too, but they are predictably very coy.
Molle/Shrike is probably sitting on over 1T in assets too, as is the heads of the other 3 BoB corps, maybe.
Before leaving I would guess The Enslaver would be in that region, possibly.
At a guess I would say there are less than 20 people in eve this rich though, with the richest being highsec players with millions of points in trade skills. T2 BPO's are not the only reason prices are high...

Ok, maybe the insurance detail was not so relevant but the point was IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to transfer ISK from test server to tranquility.

To put it in real-life perspective, 1 Trillion isk is worth about 125,000 U.S. Dollars (roughly based on conversion rate from legal transfers of game time cards for isk)
So, 1 Trillion Isk (or $125,000) is exactly equal to the sticker price of a brand new, 2007 Porsche GT-3. THAT'S "how freaking much that is" (by the same token, the RL value of a Titan is probably equivalent to a Honda Accord).
And people wonder why there are so many isk farmers / macros

Originally by: Chribba afaik tho you can only have max some 2.something trillions in your wallet so you better get an alt to shuffle ISK to or buy a few titan bpo's.
You're not thinking about 2^31 are you? (2,147,483,648) If so, that's as you can see above 2.1 billion, not trillion.

You can definitely have substantially more than 2 billion isk in your wallet I assure you

I'm guessing 2^63 is the max amount in the wallet

there is way too much isk in this game. prices on bpo's(t1) and items have remained the same since game went live. while the isk/hour that u can make have increased a lot.
ccp should increase prices on t1 bpo's by 5 or 10times imo. all capital stuff was released dirt cheap. it should have been 10times higher. carrier bpo's for what? 900m, its a joke. should have been 9b and so on. current prices doesnt reflect how easy it is to get the isk ==================
=== eve is not all about isk, its about enjoying the game. lots of iskies is not the same as enjoying the game |

It costs 25b-30b just to start up a capital ship production operation... you need quite a bit more than just the carrier BPO.

yea i know that since i have a complete t1 set to build all capitals myself 24/7. but i still say everything on npc market is way too cheap. dread/carrier/freighter bpo's(ship bpo's) should have been released with an extra 0 on them and all old t1 stuff should get the same(or atleast 5times the current price) added to their prices
its not about how much isk it cost to start teh production. its that the bpo themselfs are way too cheap. i have been a very rich player for years and even if i was aiming on the capitals myself before they were released i was hoping that the bpo's would cost 10b + component bpo's or so ==================

You would need at least 5 Hulks BPO's to do in in a year,,, and,, never spent a dime.

Well,, that would make it harder for the 'little guy' to compete with you.
The idea (I think) is to let the regular joes in on the cap ship production market. Otherwise,,, who exactly would be buying all the 9b blueprints?!
... and even at 900m isk each, they are not exactly cheap to the average player,,, not cheap at all.

The wallet tracks isk down to the thousandth of an isk (don't believe me? Hit "give money", fill it with 9's, and watch as it auto-updates to include a thousandth place). So it's either a float, or the max it can track is (2^63)/1000.

I am aware that you mentioned you were kidding, but just to reiterate for everyone, this will get you permanently banned from the test server. Don't do it.
