I guess I just havn't run into anyone like that personally.

I can tell you with absolute certainty that, of the @45 groups who 
filed year end financial reports for 1995 & 1996, few (I actually 
can't remember any) had a change in net worth of  +$1,000 or more.  
Most groups in this kingdom have a change in net worth within the 
range of plus or minus a few hundred dollars.

Sure, there are several large baronies with bank accounts holding 
several thousands of dollars.  This is because they have a tendency 
to make an overall profit in the hundreds of dollars range for each 
year and have done so over the past 10-20 years.  It adds up.
