> It's not that hard to get into a >99% income bracket for a year or two. You basically just need to participate in an IPO-style windfall, and maybe split it over two tax years.

It's actually much easier than that: you just have to win the lottery. Easy! I mean, why doesn't everyone do that? Are they stupid?

I have an easier method. Stand under coconut trees at wealthy resorts until a coconut drops and kills you, that your heirs may sue for millions.

I think you'd need to be in the 10s of millions to register for top 1% in US. Mere "millions" might not be enough.
