Hi, this is an alt-post, sorry, so it's no bragging or so.
I have 2,5 bil. isk in cash, few hundred loyalty points at some agents, assets of around 1 bil. and a ship that is worth around 10 bil. (actually it's fitting is worth so much). I have implants worth around 2 bil. plugged in my head. I play eve around 11 months.
So what would you say: am i rich ? Or does being rich require at least 20 bil in cash ? Am i maybe even quite poor for a 11 months gametime ?

I have been playing since November 2005.
I have about thirty million ISK, approximately 300m-worth of ships, a further 100m-worth of fittings, maybe a further 200m in other assets.
next to me, you are doing incredibly well for yourself. ***

A 10 billion isk ship? First off, what ship (and fittings) is that? And why would you dare to fly that ship?

Hmm, well I'd say that if you are enjoying the game, then you are rich. If you are bored with the game, or don't like it, then you are poor. Of course this is only relevant within the game itself.
Isk has nothing much to do with what you get out of the game, and what you get out of the game is the only reason to play it.
I am sure there are characters only 1 week old with under 1 million isk having as much fun as I am. Can i say because I have more isk my investment in the game is more worthwhile? I don't think so.
Life is a state of mind etc.

IMO, amassing huge piles of isk just for the sake of it is pointless.
The point of having isk is to lose it having fun in PvP

I wouldn't have war decced and I'm glad that it's an alt. I don't really like the so called empire 'pvpers'. Not that I don't think they should be able to do it. Its when they post how uber they are and how many kills they have on the eweener killboard. When you take a look its all shuttles, frigates and haulers.
But let the warning stand for any others who post here with uber set ups and how they made billions.

My definition of rich is when you find it more profitable to leverage your capital through various methods (trading, production, etc) than straight all-day ratting/mining or the like.
I.e. the point at which it makes more money to be a businessman than to grind.

does your self-esteem seem so low that you have to seek the "richness" approval of the eve community? you say this isnt a bragging post but frankly, it's nothing but.
to entertain your needs of worth i will answer your question.
rich is not just the mere isk we strive to accumulate in game. After all, isk represents nothing more than the means to enjoy ourselves (much like money in real life).
sure with around a networth of around 15 billion (don't know what ship you could possibly own that is worth 10 billion unless you have several faction ships or you're using the ancient worth of some of them ie: 7 billion machariel which i believe BoB sold a long time ago [it was the first i think]) you are considered well off isk wise. I, personally, have been playing for nearly 40 months (3 years and 4 months) yet i've only seen 1 billion isk in my wallet just once. I hold about 3 to 4 billion isk worth of assets which really isnt much. I consider myself rich not because of my abysmally low asset to time played ratio but because i have made over the years what i consider to be some really good friendships. those friendships eventually seeped out of the world of EVE and into other games as well as numerous chats via the various communication programs.
to brielfy summarize my post - sure you're rich if all you care about is the assimilation of isk through what i assume to be the mundane task of wiping out wave after waves of computer controlled drones. But from your post i assume you havent had the true pleasures offered by EVE which is the camaraderie, brotherhood, the bond forged in battle (cliche isnt it?) that one finds when doing more than watching that wallet blink upon the destruction of yet another unimaginative oponent.
feel the need to ask that question? ask in corp chat (provided you're not in a starter corp like a good amount of mission runners). If the corp answers, then yes, you are. if not then eh, at least you can continue to watch that wallet blink.

Are you rich?
The answer is 'NO'.
You dont have a corp or alliance tag in the forums. You picked a name with intense responsibility in RL.
Rich players have tech II bpo's. Rich Players run large Alliances. The rest are just players in this game. Do you have any standings on a killboard. Has your alliance made you important when people come in local. Do they fear you because your Alliance or Corporation. Do you buy stuff cause its going to make a hurt on the enemy? Does it matter if you loose your ship?
When you are rich you know it....... Try some of these things and you might someday become rich.

@ this and similar answers: please, i didn't mean to ask if i made it well in the game. I didn't say anything about friends or achievements, so please stay with your comments on the isk. I also did not mean "rich" in it's other meaning, you know that where people say "you are rich if you think positive" etc, i was only referring to the financial side of the word "rich". So please don't tell me what a loser i am, as you don't know much about me, and again this is an alt post ok ? So much bad emotions in here ...

You have an average amount of isk for a non pvper.
EDIT: Needles to say if you PvP in an Alliance thats not a bad sum. Although it depends which alliance and how often you fight.

Sticking to the pure isk aspect: You have a metric buttload of isk, so yeah.
The only measure of wealth worth considering, though: Can you fly your best ship, get blown up and smile after a good fight without worrying about replacing your things?

Yea, you have tons more isk than I. The question is, did you have fun making that isk? Did you grind lvl IV's? Was that fun for you? I might only have 100m in my wallet right now, but I feel it is worth much more than my buddie's 1 billion isk, because he traded a GTC for 300 million, then made the rest. Its easy to make isk once you have isk, the hard part is making it when you don't. ~~~~~~~~~ Hey Gai. Bak Off Coz Ai Bang Yu Hawd. K Gai? |

That's actually a pretty good measurement and I would agree with it. I probably fit into this category, but I actually stopped messing around with leveraging the various markets. I do in-corp investments and I still rat to keep myself occupied when there isn't much going on. Though it's a low-return (comparatively speaking) activity, I find it preferable to sitting in station or hauling stuff to and fro...heheh.

You are as rich as the amount of spare time you have to spend on eve, the average dedicated mission runner makes a billion a week and a half for playing 2 hours a day, if you play more than you can easily make 15 billion in less than 2 month
if you find that much spare time and you could withstand the sheer boredom of grinding missions every single day, you better be rich.

Aye. I'm pretty noob, but already I see this is clearly the case. Leveraging your capital is non-linear. Grinding is hideously linear :p.

If you made it with level 4 missions, it just illustrates how broken the risk/reward of mission running is.

I've been playing around the same time and am worth less than half of what you claim to have. So yeah, you're doing pretty well. Are you rich? Well, you have more than 90% of players in EVE, but you hardly compare to the guys who really have deep pockets.
Rich in EVE is a portfolio of tech II BPO's, a mothership character, a couple of alt ACCOUNTS, and being CEO of a corp with a membercount above 50 characters. The time which it takes you to get there is less relevant than the actual amount of assets controlled.
For a solo player, yeah, thats good. For EVE you're one of many, even if you have you're head slightly above the rat race.
You're wealth distribution is wrong though, since you have the majority of your assets invested in a ship/fittings, and unless that's a mothership or above (and as cyvok showed, even then...) that is a huge strategic/economical missuse of resources.
For comparison: 880m ISK, 4b in ships (but a lot of them) and possibly another 500m in assets. But I pay with GTC or I would have a couple of billion ISK more, and I'm cruising around playing only a few hours every other day.
Oh, and I have 1.1m LP at my agent, so expect me to be 1.5b isk richer sometime soon.

I'd consider you rich. I've never had nearly as much as you have. If it wasn't acquired through GTC sales, then it's ok. If you had fun in the process, then it even better. It's good you don't have to struggle with ISK as I had to do during my all Eve time. I even got to the point where there was no insensitive to train for the next generation of ships as losing a ship and then grinding for it for 2-3 weeks != fun. I got even to a point where I couldn't imagine myself progressing as a player without a nice T2 BPO in my hangar. But well, that BPO never appeared...

Umm, how can some people only have 200M after a year or something? I made 400M ISK in a week in 0.0 just salvaging the wrecks other people leave in the belts. That does not include the 500+ named items in my hanger that I have yet to sell. How the hell can a player that is a year old only have 200M in assets?

ur rich when u have what u want and can do what u want and have set ur own "rich" standard,
i have 2.6b in wallet, billions on market, can buy what i want/need, can do what i want without anyone`s permission
am i rich? perhaps to alot of ppl but for myself, not really... only have 2 real friends of wich i can trust every penny and know it`s safe and the same way around (i hope)
my "rich" terms are when ppl will trust u blindly in word and actions, if it`s for 1 isk or 1trillion isk or agreed deals/promises
so "rich" is defined only by 1 person and that`s you

You so funny. If he is playing to make ISK and is happy doing that, then I doubt your having more fun then he is. If you think that everyone has to do what you think is fun for it to be fun, then your not richer, just dumber.
Or

I do a fair share of missions, not so much through the week but I make up for it on the weekends. I can't really esimate my worth, but i can tell you that that sum is total bull.
This past weekend my pvp alt had some nasty losses(2x harbinger, 2x vengeance, 2x arbitrator tech 2 fitted) and I only have about half the isk that I started with Friday...and the alt is lacking a ship atm. I get to pvp for a day or two and then grind for a week to get it back.
It's not possible to make that kind of isk, only playing two hours a day. With my schedule, I get at most two storylines a week..and the last three have paid out a total of 4.5mil or less counting bounties/rewards...I haven't seen an implant in a month. It's not like we get a 200mil implant every day. I've probably seen two really good implants the ENTIRE time I have been doing missions(since july or something). That, and 99% of the agent offers isn't so hot. The offer I see people bring up most is the 500k lp faction battleship bpc offer...
500k lp(the max you can get for a top-end mission in high sec is around 7100) 200mil isk About 93-94 worth of minerals to build
Sells for a bil? Not quite. The last CNR I sold, I was only able to get 850mil for.
Blah, but anyway, the "average" missionrunner doesn't make anywhere near that amount.

Omfg, how long did it take to mission ***** to get that?. I would have quit eve before going through the mediocre experience of agent missions for iskies.
Saying that though, I am quite poor and would like iskies for new toys (and skills) and maybe some +5 implants to train up an alt
2.5 bil is quite a bit, but did you actually enjoy getting it?.
If I had ú1 for every intelligent comment posted in general discussion, I'd be hideously in debt |

heh, I¦ve been all the way up to 6bil, back down to 82mil 2 hacs a recon ship I cant use and a few ceptors. lost half of that money to the eib scam. the other half was used on ships and modules/implants.

I have 3 bil in Isk and probably 1 bil in Ships spread across two accounts. If I could persuade myself to part with that Isk and actualy make it work for me I could be a lot wealthier I suppose. OTOH I don't spend much money so why bother?
As for the poster three years old with only a couple of hundred mil - how did you achieve that? I haven't had less than 500 mil in Isk since my first six months. Given a battleship or a Covetor I can pull in 100mil a week in Empire on only a couple of hours a day. -- (Battle hardened industrialist)

Originally by: EPSILON DELTA You are as rich as the amount of spare time you have to spend on eve, the average dedicated mission runner makes a billion a week and a half for playing 2 hours a day, if you play more than you can easily make 15 billion in less than 2 month
if you find that much spare time and you could withstand the sheer boredom of grinding missions every single day, you better be rich.
And where you have found this curios data? "the average dedicated mission runner makes a billion a week and a half for playing 2 hours a day" At 10-20 million/hour, at best it is 400 millions, for 2 hours of active mission running.
Or your average is the one with CNR, officer fitting, all connection skills to 5? That is top running my dear.

miners and industrialists measure they skills through they wallets pvpers measure they skills on a killboard. yes i am rich atm but that is only because i sold 5 alts. as long as i have enough isk to fit a thorax and buy a new clone then i am happy

Originally by: CondorLeezza Rice Hi, this is an alt-post, sorry, so it's no bragging or so.
I have 2,5 bil. isk in cash, few hundred loyalty points at some agents, assets of around 1 bil. and a ship that is worth around 10 bil. (actually it's fitting is worth so much). I have implants worth around 2 bil. plugged in my head. I play eve around 11 months.
So what would you say: am i rich ? Or does being rich require at least 20 bil in cash ? Am i maybe even quite poor for a 11 months gametime ?
dunno... whats the point of soo much isk fo ur no going to PVP it away.
you are rich when u can afford a decent BS whit good fittings and not worry if u loose it or not.
iv got about 1,5bil in wallet + a bil worth of ships what 90% are pvp ships and the rest of them are my ships i use to make money :P
if alot of isk makes you feel like u have achived someting in eve... then u are rich in both ways

Until about a fortnight ago I was a member of the "In since retail never had a billion ISK" club, but lowsec pirating in Placid sure nets you some nice loot.
I dont really see having a lot of isk as a good thing, im giving VERY serious thought to Corpuming up my Astarte which will only end in tears when I leeroy it into a gatecamp.

Well one of my friends can pull in a billion a week if he tries and has been playing for about 6 months. He does spend a lot of time playing in that week though!

Ok thank you for your replies. I just want to comment some of your answers:
First of all, yes i made my money with missions and trading, not with pirating - is this so bad ? Is the only legitimate way of becoming rich that where you cause emotional distress to others by scamming, ganking and robbing them ?
And it's like someon here said, my goal is to gain capitalistic power, not to be an ace-pvp-pilot in first line. Some of you posted how taff pvpers they are etc - if you are a good pvper you might kill me if you meet me, althouh i would have more expensive equipment, rigs and implants - you will still kill me, ok. But if a rich guy wants to really harm you (i'm not yet rich but i hope im on the right way there), he will set up a mercenary contract upon you, kill you and your friends, keeping your corporation docked and harrasing your whole alliance. This is power. And you post you are so rich because you have friends and such - ok, accepted, but tomorrow you will cry becaus this friends betrayed you, dismounted all your pos and sold your outpost to your enemies, or robbed all the ships in your corphanger etc. So everything has 2 sides. But ok actually this was not the topic, just wanted to reply to some comments - i totally forgot that in some european countries, expecially germany, it's not fine to talk about wealth salaries and income, either in rl or games, people seem to have problems with that. Thanks to all who gave just a comment on the numbers, without getting emotional or too much offtopic. Please don't post here anymore, thanks.

These days, everything below 200b ISK (combined assets) is not rich, just "wealthy".
A lot of BPOS (that have 20 copies each) cost about 50b+, so you can imagine how much money is out there.
