i looked it up and r/gooncave is a where people show pictures of creepy multi-monitor setups for looking at porn, and also pics/videos of themselves jerking off to porn. they also seem to be into, like, just doing nothing but jerkin and looking at porn for days at a time. they call this 'gooning'

fie, fie upon a world that would withhold its finest fruits from this its noble servant

even in the bay area, $10 million gets you a lot of house. tech money has inflated the gently caress out of the sfh baseline in the last forty years, but that particular market segment is still way out of reach for some salaried striver, and it's more or less what you'd expect: manor houses in pac heights and estates in los altos. op is a middle manager with tastes like a vp, if they had a security clearance it should probably be on review. as it is someone ought to be closely watching their departmental budget for any suspicious expenses

yeah probably hovering right around 99% household income ($570k), somewhere around 95% household net worth ($2.6M)

the real answer to the dude's question is that there's a whole lot of generational wealth out there, which is why it's hard to imagine ever getting to 99% net worth ($11.1M) on that 99% salary. that's across like 125 million households, by the way, so that's way over a million households just in the us with net worths over $10M. the overall impact from like five hundred faang vps is nothing compared to generations of descendants of like some dude who owned a store during the gold rush

EDIT: i misremembered op as having $3.5M not $2.5M, so he's 95th percentile, not 96th

the way property is taxed in CA is one of the real drivers of the luxury home market. When you make 500k selling your home, if you take that profit and buy a NEW home with it, you dont pay capital gains on it. So obviously that makes it incredibly attractive to keep buying fancier and fancier houses.
