Really depends where, which field and what, right? Wealthy I would put at somewhere in the $20M mark or so.
Lets say there are 1000 somewhat active posters on CP. Is it that out of reach to say 1 might (might) reach that goal? Not saying it should or will be me, but someone can do it.
I do have one friend that I graduated with a year ago, his parents didn't buy him everything, but he has a truck, is looking to buy one of those 60's vintage sports cars, owns his own condo (by own, I mean he has a mortgage on it) and is shopping for a plane right now. I know a few that have been involved in some entrepreneurial (did i spell that right?) are are <35 and I would say they are in that wealthy bracket. I don't think its really that uncommon, but obviously, it takes a mix of intellect, work as well as opportunity and luck.
