Depends on your threshold for "rich", but the #1 in the list of HN posters (https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders), tptacek, sold his startup for >$10m.
- tptacek 14y agoI am extremely small potatoes compared to some of the people who occasionally post here. Jason Fried, for instance, posts on stories about 37s. If we're talking the Larry Page scale, well, Marc Andreessen posts here often enough to have noticed Maciej Ceglowski's Co-Prosperity Cloud; he saw a comment I left about a $50 follow-on investment and matched it.

I thought I had relatives who I would classify as "extremely successful" and "rich", and they sold their companies for... high 5 figures. :) I must admit, my vision gets a bit blurry when it comes to distinguishing between numbers with 8+ figures...
