Im just calling it for what it is.
Frontier can do all that server side, despite years of players complaining about the economy in game and ballance.... Frontier have only made the situation worse.
A billion can be made in a couple hours thanks to Void Opals and again Fronter can check server side.
This is just a Brag thread. Nothing more to it. Dressing it up as a serious question is laughable.
Agreed. I think if I had to start over today, within two weeks I could be back at a billion thanks to mining and I wouldn't have to get past the learning curve again. (Dread the mere thought though.)
A couple of years ago, started in mid 2016 here, it took over a month to grind up enough money to buy a T-6, then outfit an Asp Explorer with just a stage 3 FSD. That trip out to BP earned my 'Conda and from there credits "in game" has never been a problem.

Inara probably indeed has the most comprehensive data on ED CMDRs after Frontier themselves, there's no comparison statistic there though. But Artie, the owner of the site, recently said that the very rich are outliers.
Since the introduction of the changes to mining, anyone who wants to be a billionaire can now be.
This is your average ED player these days

So long as you don't go mad from the boredom while you mine, and have the basic skills to avoid getting killed by pirates otw to port, oh yeah.
I very specifically did not ask for anyone's actual wealth. Nobody needs or cares what any specific person's in game net worth is.
You've utterly failed to understand the question.
I know frontier has that info.
We don't.
So, what was the actual question?
Around March of this year, I bought a second account because I wanted to start from the beginning with a new character. It was shocking how fast I was able to earn my first billion credits and reach trade elite -- and this was without mining, it was simply through trading. I think it took me a little less than a week. I didn't start mining until about a month ago and since then, I've made about 6B credits on each of my accounts. The money piles up quick when you're making 150 million an hour.
Apparently its "is everyone illiterate or does everyone just prefer assigning their own meaning to other's statements?"
Aggregate data on commander's in-game wealth.
That's the question. Does anyone have it other than Frontier. Individual metrics and anecdotal statements about average wealth mean nothing.
Apparently the answer is no and there's almost no information of value on these forums unless its a dev post.
Artie cooked the number on Inara recently, but I couldn't find the post.
What I do remember is that only 2% of the players on Inara had over 5 billion credits. So if you want a fleet carrier that seems like a good target to aim for.

See now that's possibly useful information.
I would love to have something a bit more concrete.
You'd still be a Billionaire when you count assets.
Your ships are Wealth too.
I am well aware, thanks.
What difference does it make?
mmm ... about the same as a non engineered combat corvette?
sorry i have no info. i'd say inara is your best digging spot but since only a subset of players use it you will be immediately butchered and mocked (or mocked and butchered) if you dare to publish any conclusion based on that data. good luck!
Frontier looks at total wealth, probably, when considering game changes.
