By know I mean personally know. The people that you are friends with or talk to every now and then. Excluding people that inherited a lot of money. Self-made. Like Doctors, lawyers, business owners, etc.

How much are they making annually?

define “know”

my grandfather was semi-business partners with a famous musiician that’s worth quite a few millions.
been to his place, hung out with his kids back in the day, etc.

if that counts, then him.
if that don’t count, probably a shrimper from Cocodrie

$250,000 annually. And they literally do nothing. Born into a wealthy family and receive a paycheck. That simple.

Most of the rich people I know are heirs who were grandfathered into the family business. All of the rich people I know make their living off the fruits of other people's labor.

one buddy's dad is a billionaire restauranteur. probably pulls a good 20+mil/year

another buddy's dad invented something that takes the pressure off drill bits 30 years ago and has been printing money ever since. if he's not worth a billion he's damn near close.

Some cousins, the dad started a medical technology company in the early seventies and now the kids and/or spouses all work there in some capacity. If you work in the medical field it's nearly a certainty that you use their products. I dont know their net worth but its enough for everybody to have a baller lifestyle. I dont envy them though. Of four kids, one turned out relatively normal. The others have multiple divorces and in one case a serious drug addiction.
