Add social expenses -- what it takes to fit into a society or community.

Add a buffer for risk and uncertainty about the future.

And then consider what role location has on the whole package. If you want proximity to one of the global hubs / power centers, then you're looking at doing this all in a top-tier cost market.

Then you easily push into tens of millions. Breaking a hundred million to super thoroughly check those boxes isn't a stretch.

This is before considering an agenda / passion that you want to see changed in the world. And before any ambitious desires from family members and close friends.

Breaking into a hundred million is an absurdity given the criteria GP set.

No it’s not. Given the house prices in places like Palo Alto, Malibu, London, or Moscow, the house alone could easily be $50 million.

Postulating that anyone needs 100M is simply absurd. Just because there is insanity in house pricing doesn't mean that this needs to reflect into incomes.

I didn’t say they needed it. But those are the parameters given
