    Though this was a year ago

    There are an average of 300 million monthly gameplays. The Neopoints economy, the audience says it’s like real life. Users have created 22 million shops to trade virtual items. There are 750,000 daily transactions. There are 250,000 Neopian millionaires and 6 billionaires.

    6 billionaires, just thought that was interesting. At my rate of 2 million a day, I should get there in 2 years, with a little to spare.

    Well this was coming from a presentation given by a MTV representative when they introduced the Neopets Mall. You'd expect them to inflate statistics to gain publicity. So I'm assuming 6 billionaires is a real number while 250k is an estimate, otherwise theyd say 10. I do believe there is around 6 billionaires, probably add one or 2 right now. This is also do to the fact that they probably didn't assess the total value of the account, as item prices change, but just the total amount of NP in the account at the time.

    As for being legit, yes, they are legit NOW, but probably not back in the day. At a certain point, you can make just as much money without cheating than you would with cheating. Why risk getting frozen? It's much easier to become a billionaire when you cheated say 6 years ago, and invested that money in inflated items, than it is today. Time is money.

    they must have been going on neopoint billionaires.

    there are many billionaires with items worth that amount. e.g 2 suaps makes you a billionaire

    munsterpoo
    hrobi
    featheralley
    garet_jaxx
    azn_angel634
    hubrids_mansion
    manhunter11(frozen recently but after the statistics)

    That's not including sides...I think munster has a couple billionaire galleries and however much you value the DSoD in that one guy's gallery...

    It's just hard to tell because they all are battledomers and invest their nps into sets...can't see people's sets so it's hard to tell. But you can see trades, galleries, etc.

    And there's probably 4-5 I missed lol. (If you noticed these people are r99 collectors so if you pass I-quest twice you're a billionaire...)

    Well anyways thats my list, probably missing a few.

    The way you made it out, you're assuming I Blade is worth 500 mil. There is no set price on Iblade, or anything other 200 mil + battledome item, because 1 goes on sell like once every month. The only price is from the battlepedia, and this is not a good way to gauge whos a "billionaire" and not, especially if your taking statistics for legal matters.

    I think it would be around 500k members had over a million. As for the billion, I'd say there's probably about 30-35. It depends on what you value most of the top-notch weapons and only 1-2 in existence items.
