Um, ok -- yeah, I do.
I made about $320k last year, have a 4000 sq. ft. house on 3 acres with a pool, and drive a brand-new Mazda MX-5 (Miata). Close enough? :)
I worked for 20 years in the video game industry, from programmer to lead programmer to technical director to CTO. Last year I got out, and work as a professional photographer and writer. I was making just over $200k as CTO of a large video game company, but now I do even better on my own.
All that came about because of a lot of hard work, two college degrees (while working full-time), working 14-16 hour days for many years, going all over the world for business, and a very strong self-driven nature to do well. Anybody who works hard can do the same!

I don't make a lot of money, and I find that I don't mind as long as I 1) have enough to get by and 2) don't make "getting rich" my life-long goal.
How you feel about how much money you make is far more important than how much money you actually make. Look at Donald Trump. He has more money than almost anyone and yet he's just as obsessed with getting more money as an immigrant day-laborer. What's up with that?
All I'm saying is that you'll be happier if you focus on getting enough money, not on getting MORE money than your friends, neighbors, and all those fictional characters on TV that work at McDonalds and live in huge high-class apartments.

Sorry i dont. I just earn above minimum. Renting an apartmen in Queens, NY and working in Manhattan.
But i could tell you that I love my job that makes me feel i earn alot. Coz i earn alot of respect and praises doing something i love.
If you are looking for a high paying job, you might want to be in the Finance world, like stockbrokers in Wall Street or as an Accountant from Ernst and Young, or Merril Lynch....
Good luck!

Stay in school and get a business degree, then work your way up though companies in a specific industry. THATS the way to make your own money.
As for 'a lot' that is subjective, I make a hell of a lot more now than I did when I started working but Im still working on improving my education and experience to go further.

A fast way to make money is to sell dope but I would not advise you to do that.
Look into something you are interested in and go to school to educate yourself for a job in that field.
Looking back now I wish that someone had of hammered that into my head.
