One of my first realized gains with $BTC. Got the coin from a Minecraft crypto casino in a matter of hours. OGs will remember bitvegas days before they rugged 😭
From what I remember I didn’t even deposit anything.. was just playing with the free $BTC they’d give you daily 😂
Bro made a billion dollars and now wants to watch borderline homeless people do stupid shit for like 30 dollars. We are legit living in a Black Mirror episode lmao
I rarely buy lottery tickets but when I’m in the mood the after tax amount needs to net me $100MM.
Why?
- Scottsdale Mansion / $7-10MM
- Knoxville Mansion / $2-4MM
- Ranch / $1-3MM
- Car collection / $10-15MM
Invest the rest n live off the gains.
SpaceX millionaires 4,000 x $1mil , 400 x $100 mil
Every employee who joined before the first succesful launch made (unless they sold early) more than $100 million.
SpaceX lists June 12 at ~$1.75T.
Work backward from the cap table. At $1.75T, clearing $100M takes ~0.0057% of the company.
- 2002–2008, first ~500 in: joined at a ~$50M company. Held to $1.75T = a 17,000x. The core of the club — maybe 150–250 left holding
- September 2008, SpaceX has first successful launch
- 2010–2016: joined at $1B–$10B. Needs a senior grant — directors, principal engineers, early Starlink. ~100–200
- C-suite + board: Shotwell, Johnsen past $1B. A layer of SVPs below them clears $100M on equity, not salary. ~20–40
- Post-2016: joined at $20B–$350B. To hit $100M you'd have needed ~0.4% of the company. Impossible for an employee. This is the millionaire tier — almost none reach $100M
The tally:
~400–500 at $100M+
A few dozen above $500M
A handful of billionaires past Musk
Same building. Same mission. Two orders of magnitude apart — set entirely by what year you walked in.
Early isn't a strategy. It's a date stamp.
