He was surely a legend alright.wealth is like beauty, in the eye of the beholder and is all relative. but yeah $500k is a lot of money.
this reminded me of a story about kerry packer, at the time australias richest man:
(copy and pasted)
Packer got into an altercation with a loud-mouthed Texan at a blackjack table in Vegas.
The story goes that the brash cowboy yelled at Packer "Don't you know who I am boy? I'm worth $60 million pardner!" The big Australian simply turned and replied "$60 Million? Toss you for it?"
Packer also reportedly took his losses on the chin and was also generous when sharing his good fortune. He once casually asked a waitress how big her mortgage was and then without another word left her a tip for the exact amount she owed.Sig too old.Comment

You can live a pretty good lifestyle on $500k/year.
Say you want to live in a million dollar home and put down 20%. Your mortgage and taxes will be about $5500/month. Say you spent maybe $7k/month (that's not a very conservative lifestyle) on top of that (could include a pretty nice care). Pay about $170k/year in taxes. You are still saving $200k/year.

That's great impressive money to be earned by any kind of work.
The fact that there are plenty of business owners out there that make it has
nothing to do with how impressive it is.
I have never done it and seriously doubt that I ever will.
I will keep trying though.

Well, for an INDIVIDUAL, regardless whether an employee or business owner... it's an awesome income!
If it's a business owner taking out that much, *I* would be kind of impressed... I could only assume he/she takes that out because the company is doing well enough to support that with no problems, rather than assuming he/she is stupid..
(Of course, there are some stupid ones as well - but I'd assume the "healthy-wealthy company" before that.)

Did he? I dunno... I didn't really read the first thread (as I hadn't finished watching the series of debate videos yet) or this one in any detail... But, if I understand the situation now, you're saying those were his words, not yours... which I'm not making judgment on, in the least.
No insults meant to anyone. I was just responding to the original post in this thread directly... with no prejudice attached... I didn't even know what the question was in relation to at the time.
And, in that regard, US$500k is a sizable chunk of change, I'd think...
You could pay for 4 years of education at an Ivy League school 5-10 times over with it.
You could fund several business ventures - like build an entire small brewery or start a production company.
In a more charitable regard:
You can run an entire homeless shelter for 5 years.
You could feed over 2000 African families for a year.
Seems it could mean a lot to a lot of people.
I'd think even someone in Bill Gates' position would think 500k is a valuable asset.
Without singling anyone out, anyone calling it "chump change" needs to re-evaluate their values, imho. And that's all I meant.
Now whether anyone here actually did that or not is another matter entirely, and something that I have no opinion on one way or the other.

D, he started this thread because of the other thread. he used a quote of mine out of context in this thread to try and make it look like i said what's in the title of his thread.
he confused arrogance with ignorance. there is quite a difference. arrogance can take you much farther than ignorance can in business. he is too ignorant to realize that so sometimes people half his age need to point it out.

That's good money, no doubt, but not exactly jaw-dropping impressive... in this industry alone there are probably at least 100 people that pull that in each year...Last edited by woj; 03-01-2008, 03:23 PM.Custom Software Development, email: woj#at#wojfun#.#com to discuss details or skype: wojl2000 or gchat: wojfun or telegram: wojl2000

Everybody claiming 500k/year is chump change never really had to work for his money or earns like 200$ a month and needs to boost his ego.

he may not make 500k a year at vivid but he could have other sources of incomeComment

Let's all set the record straight here. I mean if we are all going to comment and talk trash about something that someone supposedly said then let us at least be aware of what was or wasn't really said.
Mike of Vivid Cash never said it was "chump change". The other guy who started this tread used those words.
Mike said what this person was claiming on TV wasn't impressive and that included the fact that he claims to have made $500,000 in 6 months. Of course the guy claimed a lot of things in the course of his interview on ABC, but none of those claims were all that impressive either.
Is making $500,000 in 6 months, or even in 1 year, impressive? Perhaps to some but that wasn't the topic of the conversation. For some reason this Bad dog guy jumped on that one line and just obsessed about it over and over.
By the passion and vigor in which this guy posted over and over and over again about this one subject, it seems like this guy has a hard one for Mike over at Vivid Cash but no matter what he couldn't stay focused on the subject at hand but instead kept obsessing about one line, which wasn't really that relevant to the entire conversation in the first place.
And for the record, making $500,000 a year isn't impressive to everyone. To me, I would be impressed if you say you leaped tall buildings in a single bound or you from one end of the earth to the other totally buck naked. But telling me you made $500,000 doesn't mean crap to me. I'm not impressed by such things. So who cares if some other guy (in this case Mike of Vivid Cash) isn't impressed by such things either? Does that some how make him an ass or a bad guy? No. It just means he isn't impressed by some guy who CLAIMS to have made $500,000 on TV.💎 Earn Money by Helping Content Creators Earn More. 💎 The most unique affiliate program in the game.
