EBay owner: Starts Kijiji: $Millions.

Neke: Assuming averages $150k/yr over the next 10 years (first decade average was $80k/yr): $+1.5Millions.

Not dealing with customers: priceless
 
Quote from dcvtss:

Not dealing with customers: priceless

Business owners don't deal with customers. That's the reason why they hire managers.

Go on vacation any time you want for how many days a year you want. Tell the manager to take care of things for a few weeks.

Suddenly take off on short notice == bonus.

Your "statistical" edge does not allow you a single day off.

Lol, go on vacation 2-4 weeks/year.
Must give weeks notice in advance.

This is a pointless comparison. You can cherry pick whatever story you want to tell. What are the odds of founding a company like Amazon? What are the odds of being a successful doctor? An independent trader? A hedge fund manager? A principal at a prop firm? This is stupid.
