I was hoping for some amazing stock market trick which got you an actual billion dollars.
Or the current alleged value of a billion inf, which would be (checks spambox) umm... about $600?

Also, as you can see, in the last 3 days, I've made approximately 400 mil (the outstanding sales will sell within a day, and it's only 3 IOs anyway), and I've only actually checked today since that day. Actual market-time spent in order to clear that 400 mil was approximately 20 minutes. I swear, it really is that easy.

Well, in 20 days, my zero hour arrives. Don't fret, I'm not leaving the game. That's just when I'm giving away all my inf. So, since my party announcement includes a rough estimate of how much inf, I decided it was time to update my screenshot collection. Some of you may remember when I posted my Twin Billionaires and Triplet Billionaires a while back. Well, needless to say, my kitty has grown slightly since then. And so, without further ado, I present to you...

So, are you like the Octo-dad?
BTW, much respect. Even more so for giving it all away.

Actually, I've only logged about 2 hours in-game since the 2nd or 3rd day of I-14. School's been getting busy as finals week starts tomorrow (taking a break from my 18-pg research paper as I type this).

Very nice. So, did most of that come from purples and other market activity? Or mucho playing?

I've actually messed with just about every niche that I could find in the game. Most was made by crafting, some was made by flipping (purples especially).
Let's see, a quick list of the stuff I've messed with (primary focus in parentheses):
Red Fortune (Def/End)
Crushing Impact (all)
Doctored Wounds (all)
Titanium Coating (all)
Thunderstrike (all)
Miracle (Proc, H/R, H/E)
Numina's (all)
Regen Tissue (Proc)
Mako's Bite (?)
Posi's Blast (all)
Scirocco's Dervish (all)
Blessing of the Zephyr (KB)
Celerity (Stealth)
Steadfast Protection (all)
Karma (KB)
Purples (all)
Decimation (all)
Devastation (all)
Impervium Armor (Res, Proc)
LotG (all)
Think that's about all. Probly forgot a couple.

Heh. I'd be happy to teach anyone my way, but you may lose a lot of respect for my accomplishments if I did so. Seriously, the fact that I continue to make money off the market boggles my own mind. 
I may just make a screenshot series of a 2 week period of my marketeering...then start a lecture series called Rich Toon, Poor Toon...

That's pretty impressive. I know for a fact that I've never been that rich on any of my characters...
I would love to learn your secrets as well. I could definitely use the funds.

Heh, very true.
Just to update, I'll post a new set of screenshots this coming Monday. Keep in mind that I'm only making money off things I showed in my list here, and I told everyone my sales signature. I can't get too much more public than that. We'll see how much I can still clear in one week.

Ping is the real deal. I just hit my first 1B with one toon and surprisingly enough we've been flipping the same stuff. The market ALONE has paid for almost two IO'd toons. (500M to FF/Elec) and (300M+ to spines/fire). Also, you'd be surprised how much our trade channel helps out. We offer lower prices than WW. Both parties win! XD
So 1 week's gone by since I posted exactly what toons were making money on exactly what items and what my price signature was. Time to see how I did...
(screenshots take time and are a pain)
Funds (5/18 pm):
1.236B (MP)
1.256B (SqP)
1.417B (PF)
1.026B (PP)
1.225B (K)
1.163B (StP)
1.037B (LMP)
1.156B (PotR)
------------------
9.516B (Total)
Current outstanding sales: 625M
So basically, I made 384M in cash receipts and another 325M in products for sale, for an overall profit of 709M in one week making money only by way of the things listed in my original screenshot.
I'm tellin' ya, it really is that easy.
I'll update this thread again next Monday and the Sunday morning after that. 13 days from now, it all goes bye-bye, scattered amongst the masses of Champion server.

I was under the impression that the wentworth selling was across all servers (meaning that I could sell something to a player on another server). Am I mistaken?

I play on Champion server, so my 10 billion inf is on toons on that server. I'll be holding an event on that server in which I'm literally giving it away to other players. Not through WW, just in-person (and through a forums contest).

Means he's going to give it away in costume contests or just random acts of kindness to either SG mates, or random strangers.
I personally don't approve of this, as the inflated amount of currency in the game has deflated its value, and doing things like this only deflates it more-so.
For every billionaire that has made their billions flipping, crafting and marketeering, and not farming, I salute you. Not only are you pulling currency out of the economy via crafting fees and market fees, and not putting any extra in, only dealing with what's already on the market, you're also hoarding all that money you've earned, which will very likely never all be spent entirely by you, thus taking it out of the economy as well.
The billionaires that hoard their cash and do nothing with it increase the value of the influence/infamy by the simple fact that there is less of it, which is what this economy desperately needs.

Well, in 20 days, my zero hour arrives. Don't fret, I'm not leaving the game. That's just when I'm giving away all my inf. So, since my party announcement includes a rough estimate of how much inf, I decided it was time to update my screenshot collection. Some of you may remember when I posted my Twin Billionaires and Triplet Billionaires a while back. Well, needless to say, my kitty has grown slightly since then. And so, without further ado, I present to you...
Octobillionaire!
Included in the screenshot is a current list of what I'm making money with (I can't call it manipulating because my bid/sale prices change every 3 days depending on market pricing) on who. Obviously, at my peak of activity, this list was FAR larger, but since I-14, I've just messed with purples because they're really just that easy to make money off of.
Also, as you can see, in the last 3 days, I've made approximately 400 mil (the outstanding sales will sell within a day, and it's only 3 IOs anyway), and I've only actually checked today since that day. Actual market-time spent in order to clear that 400 mil was approximately 20 minutes. I swear, it really is that easy. Oh, and yes, I am aware that I could move enough to make a ninth billionaire, but I live in Cali, so Octobillionaire sounded better to me.
Oh, and feel free to move in on my niches. My bids end in 5024, so now you'll just be able to see exactly what toon it was that just ganked your cheap IO.
So, anyway, #9!
