Re:$100M in bounties paid via HackerOne to ethical hackers by lawnchair_larry on Thursday May 28, 2020 @03:29AM (#23334497)
Found some data about this: https://www.hackerone.com/press-release/six-hackers-break-bu...

As of that date, 6 people made over $1M total since it launched (not per year). So maybe 1 or 2 have hit 500k in a year? Some of those names have been doing it for over 6 years.

According to a previous report, only 0.3% have made over $5k in their lifetime on the platform.
