Nothing too crazy: - Very aggressive frugality: living in Silicon Valley on $30-40k a year and saving about $1M over a decade of work, with an average salary of $250k - Some stock options I had from a previous employer went liquid and netted me about $1M - Index funds investing did the rest. Never sold any position
