What's he get $ 300/day. That's $15,120,000. With that kind of money you can retire. I don’t believe in those numbers at all. What’s he get $ 300/day. That’s $15,120,000.

So how does that compare to other activities?" So let's say you engage in skiing of comparable risk for the equivalent of three weeks each ski season, for 21 days total. You have 35 years left until you're too old for this kind of stuff, after which you will retire to xc skiing and mellow lift-served groomers. Then you face a 10% chance that you will die in an avalanche. I just noticed this interesting statistic:
