Pretty much any lawyer who goes straight to law school from college and then works for a firm. Current starting pay in major cities is $160K.
Not if you graduated in the first half of the 1990s.

divide that by how many hours you work and it is far less impressive by the hourly wage

This may not be true.
I am the PP quoted. The figures are accurate. I went into a lucrative field, kept overhead low and lived below my means (in all fairness it wasn't hard to do- I was making $200K and my friends were all making a lot less). I took risks and tried new things. Some worked, some didn't. Those that didn't cost me a lot of money. I didn't let it deter me and kept trying new things. When something worked well I tried to scale it. In my personal life I took the money I made from the first business and put it into other ventures (my goal is to make enough passively to support my lifetstyle from passive income). Over 9 years it added up. I measure net worth by taking the total money incoming if I stopped working (I consider 4% return from brokerage and retirement accounts) and divide it by the amount outgoing. Currently I am at .83. Obviously I want to be at at least 1.00. When I have everything I want and have a figure over 1.00 I know I can retire.
You're a john, aren't you?
