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 don't think it is a stretch to say that 1 out of a 1000 could make it, but to me that means that it is pretty uncommon. I also think that a CP poster has a higher than average likelyhood/ability to be that kind of person than a normal person 22-35.
And if the number is 20 million then I would definitely say that the number is less than 1%.
My issue isn't with your chances of doing it or not but your comment that it wasn't that uncommon to see <35 as wealthy. I would say that it is very uncommon to see <35's with $20 million.

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

How many people do you know/graduate with that don't have $20 million and are shopping for a jet?
Add that to the thousands and thousands of people that everyone knows on CP that have fit there and I would guess the number is less than 1% which once again I find to be uncommon.
But I guess we have much different views of what uncommon is.
