    If we're calculating actual time spent active doing something to earn money.

    I'd earn about $150,000 - $200,000 per hour. Not lotto or gambling. I spend very little actively making money but the time I spend would equate to about $150,000+ per hour spent, or more.

    Wait, this could be misinterpreted and abused, if you don't define clearly what you mean by "actual time spent active doing something to earn money". Suppose I eff7 mine for a whole day, then it takes less than an hour to fortune and smelt all the ores: would only that hour count? Or worse: it takes less than a minute to /sell everything I have mined in a day. Should I attribute all my earnings to that single minute? After all, during the whole rest of the day I have not earned practically anything, so the whole day wasn't "actual time spent active doing something to earn money". But I doubt this reasoning would make any sense.
    So, just to understand: how do you make 150k-200k/hour? Doing what? I'm really curious now

    In no way would I consider lottoing as making money. That's like me selling an eff7 in 1 minute and saying I earn about $50,000,000 an hour ;)

    To reply to you @Expipiplusone I mean, time spent "working" so talking crap in global and socializing = not working. If you were to sell your eff7 materials, I'd consider the hours it took you to gather those as the time it takes to earn $X ECD. Even if you were to not sell your materials, assets = earning I believe.

    @TomKC and @bobman3355 are right. Loans. Very little time required, I spent a very, very small amount of time working on loans as it's all a waiting game. I would not consider the weeks of waiting "working" for my money, I just wait and can be offline. So if you calculated how many loans I manage to do within a total of 60 minutes (spread out over say... a week) then it'll be a rough guess of $200,000. No doubt more, but who can be bothered timing each interaction? Not me lol.

    A lazy mans way of earning money... and a damn risky one too.

    Depends on the day. If I'm creating/testing macros, I lose money (don't ask :p). If I put my head down and farm, I make 12-15k an hour. Generally though it's a blend between the two.

    If he pretends he's losing money people so visit and lose money to him. Subtle advertising.

    That's as valid as saying you earn $900,000 an hour by selling your star tool. Because you did it once ;)

    It is, but the individual sale is not making money, that's liquidating.
