While I've done consistently well so far, I've only been at it full force a few years, and I started with my own cash which isn't nearly that much.
The followup is usually turning this into a business and getting investors... if you looked at my resume not much would make you think I have the skill set for this (though I've spent 3 years building this on my spare time). I'm also not sure I'm really up for the whole start-up thing, I enjoy my somewhat relaxed work schedule/hours. I value my personal life more than this stuff.
I'm open to suggestion on that last one but it's not something I've done before.
