Category D for me on two different accounts.
Main Character: Ice/Storm/Ice Controller (Justice, 1340 badges)
I'm over 2 bill easy but I doubt I have more than say 4, so D for me too.
Primary account (VIP) : F
Secondary account (Premium): H

Updated through this post: #81
Accounts: ~97 (a couple of you combined them) 
Est. Inf: ~1.8 Trillion
In my original post, I'll update the percentages from my spreadsheet as more
data get added.
Of course, a mere 97 accounts is, statistically speaking, miniscule, but looking
at the results so far, it does appear likely to be a standard distribution, skewed
somewhat towards the higher end.
That's not unexpected as I'd believe forum goers to be more informed, have
more access to inf making strategies, and generally be a bit more "gung-ho"
(ie. dedicated to playing this game) overall than the average player.
Category E is interesting to me, so I'll be curious to see more data.
Once again, thanks for all the responses.
Keep 'em coming.
Cheers,

But I seriously suspect that well over 95% of all accounts in this game will never break the 100 million mark for whatever reasons. Remember that before the Market and AE farms it was relatively rare for anyone to have more than a few hundred million much less multi-billions. Contrary to popular belief most people never step foot in the Markets or farm AE missions.
I would say anyone with more than a billion INF horded in this game is definitely a member of the proverbial "1%".

(with all the caveats of sample size, representative samples etc.), what I'm
seeing in today's update is, at least, a factor of 10-15 higher than the guestimates
I used in the other thread (where I speculated ~90% under 2B).
Of course, it's 97 accounts, so this data ... and a dollar ... will buy you a soda.
Still, it is intriguing to see the percentages so far.

I'd probably have a lot more, but you can't hold more than 2B per character. It gets too unwieldy after that point, and then you're making fake bids, buying crap, storing inf. in e-mail--bad things.
If the cap was raised, or there was an equitable salvage currency, things might be different.

I am just over 10B on my account.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
A year ago I spent over 10B on two wonderful projects. If I hadn't done that, and I included all the IOs across my characters, I might just barely be a class B. As it is, I'm inspired to attain this next credit rating.

Not marketeering so that last billion will be subject to drops I don't stock.
Good thread, 4.

I am (b) but close to (A) depending on the day. If the ENH converters hit ill be an A. Since im about to put another 6 pvp procs for sale.
TO be replaced by the ones i can convert etc..
But I am not marketing anymore so this may change.

A while back, I finally gave up trying to remember which character had how much INF, and finally just threw together a rudimentary Excel-type spreadsheet. Columns = characters. Rows = INF per character. Then I use "sum" to add up each row into another column. (OMG! It adds up each row for me! ...yeah, I know there are kids in second grade who can run circles around me on Excel and other programs, but my system is easy and it works -- I just leave it in the background and alt+tab when I remember to while I'm marketing, or when I switch characters.)
It's kind of amusing to look back over the years at the ebb and flow of INF, as well as my "comments" column when I spent a pile of INF on a new character or made a minor killing on a niche, like a "market diary" or something.

I sit firmly at F.
When I get amount of wealth that exceeds one billion, I have a habit of spending it.
Also, I find it interesting that the distribution resembles Chi form.

Used to market seriously (mostly just to see if I could figure out how do it), till coffers were full. Have only dabbled the last few years. Market has changed a LOT.

I'd definitely be in B, but C is what's on hand atm.

is showing up is a bit of a surprise. I did however, expect a standard distribution
across the entire player base.
