Yeah it's probably nothing to people on the level of wealth like the VIPs, and it wouldn't be enough for gi-hun to be some sort of lawless vigilante getting his revenge. You're right about all that, but you never mentioned any of that in your original post.

you said,

and then wondered why people were like, "wtf, $40m is 'you are wealthy now' money!?!?"

$40M is absolutely enough to be a lawless vigilante, at least for a few VIPs, because it's way more than enough to set up the various intermediary shielding entities and then hire a professional killer, all from some remote location. That's what the bulk of being "outside of laws" is until you get into rewriting the laws themselves.

Using QBs as an example is ridiculous because most of them don't make 40M/year (although they do make a lot) and they are basically lottery winners who win a second lottery by being both professional athletes AND hitting the point where they command that salary. I don't know how many active QBs there are but even if there were 350 that would still make them 1 in 1 million for the US.
