> Exact same investment, very different outcomes.

not exactly the same. The quantity is itself a difference.

All investments would have a risk. The $1million investment has 1000x the risk, and thus, they obtain 1000x the reward. So, the weighted reward for both situations are the same per dollar.



Yes, that is true if you're assuming the exact same risk for both situations.

The one with 100€ won't have access to investment consultants or private banking. Maybe a few youtube videos.

The one with 1M€ will have an accountant, private banking access and unless they found the 1M€ off the street they'll have contacts for investment tips the other person will never have.

I'm not a millionaire, but I do kinda know a few who could be measured as such. I've made good money following investment tips from them. Not life-changing, but fancy vacation amounts.
