[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I assume a lot of that wealth is concentrated in major cities, including DC.
We have about 20M, depending on market fluctuations, but never earned more than 150K a year in household income. If we could do it, I assume many others can.

Please explain to me how this is possible.  With 150k HHI, after taxes and living expenses for a couple without kids (and most people have kids), how are you investing more than 40k (at the high end) a year?  With kids and associated expenses, in including college, saving 40k a year would be almost impossible on your salary. If you are mid 50s and have done than for even 30 years, how does that turn into $20m?  The math does not seem to work.[/quote]

My husband bought Apple stock when he was a young adult, before we met. It took a looong time to take off, but now constitutes the bulk of our portfolio. I bought Amazon, Netflix, Alphabet, Tesla (before Elon went off the deep end), Nvidia. They've done very well too. We were poor and could only invest very little, otherwise we'd have much more than 20M now, PP! You don't seem to grasp Apple's valuation over the years.
