Do you want to manage a company, or do you simply want financial freedom?

If it’s the latter there are easier ways. Real estate and index fund investing. Google FIRE.

$20K/month = $11.5 million in a total market index fund.

I guess that could give you a benchmark - figure out how to create over $10 million in value for other people.

Off the topic, curious how you calculated valuation using monthly income?

Not original commenter, but the S&P 500 has recently been paying roughly 2% dividends [1]. So $11.5M gives circa $230K/pa or $19,166/m.
