Conversely, Independent Income 5 probably represents most multimillionaires who depend on investment income. If we assume a difference between GURPS $ and 2019 $ of 2.4×, and that 1/4 of investment income is taken out for capital gains, a character with Multimillionaire 2 and Independent Income 5 would earn $30 million per month before taxes. If we assume a 2.5% ROI per year after investment costs, that would give them wealth of $14.4 billion. That would put them within the top 50 wealthiest people in the USA and the top 100 in the world.
