It’s all relative to your situation and desires. I’m retiring this month because I’m burnt out on the corporate world. I have enough money to maintain my lifestyle, hobbies, etc plus some for the rest of my life so I don’t really give a shite at the company’s attempts to offer me a ‘package’ to stay on another few months or wants to double my salary or bring me back as a contractor with an inflated rate.

To me, that’s ‘f you’ money. They can figure it out. It’s not my problem.

no debt and owning your dwelling has to be some sort of it. I'd say 20 million invested safely makes you, your kids, and grandkids comfortable if you were able to get them in a paid off dwelling.

My in-laws have $20 million and that’s still “live like paupers” money.

So apparently more than that.

From Google AI Mode:


Projecting Todd Graves’ Wealth (2027–2030)

If Raising Cane's successfully doubles its system sales to $10 billion and expands its footprint to 1,500 stores by 2030, the valuation of the company will skyrocket.

Assuming he maintains his current 92% equity stake and the business continues to grow at its current pace without going public, a linear projection of his net worth points to the following milestones:

Year Projected Corporate Status Estimated Net Worth
2026 (Current) ~900 stores $20B – $22B
2027 Stepping up unit growth $25B – $27B
2028 Approaching Top 10 chain status $30B – $33B
2029 Closing in on the $10B sales milestone $35B – $38B
2030 Target 1,500 stores / $10B+ in system sales $40B+

If these store economics hold true, Todd Graves is effectively on track to hit his personal milestone of a $40 billion net worth by 2030, cementing him not just as the world's richest restaurateur, but potentially as one of the 25 wealthiest people on Earth.

Not $1 mil, but definitely $10 mil.

ETA: I guess it depends on your definition of “FU money” . If it’s I wanna get drunk behind a wheel , kill a mom and her two kids while driving , and not serve any prison time then 10 million won’t do it.

I am reaching for the “United States of frick You”

I've hit the point where my passive income far exceeds my monthly expenses in my 30s. That to me is f u money. So it'll be different for each person

When you have enough money that you can buy whatever you want without accounting worries.

It changes per person. Some who line modest FU money may be a couple million. Some who want yachts and cars $100m isn't enough to fund their lifestyle.

This is something I’ve been considering lately. I’m at the end of my career and have a software thing on the side that’s doing pretty good that I hope gets bought out at some point in the future.

For me, my number is whatever it takes to passively produce enough income to replace my regular salary at my normal career, while having everything paid off.

I don’t have to worry about buying myself out of a life of crime. I just need enough to say “I think I’m going home, for good”. If I can do that and support my hobbies, travel and help a few folks along the way, that’s perfect.
