I am seriously obsessed with becoming obscenely rich, like having a net worth of more than $100 million. The thing is, I really do believe that I will be able collect that much dough. Anybody else share this obsession?

No, not at all. I fully expect to have a million or so in assests by the time I retire though, which will be just barley enough.

No, sorry to disappoint you but when you have several decades to go before retirement then a million dollars probably wouldn't nearly be enough.
Let's say we're talking 2037 here.. you could thank your lucky stars if a million dollars could buy you a shitty ass rundown house in a shitty ass rundown neighborhood in 2037.
If current trends persist having a million dollars in 2037 will be equal in purchasing power to having 100 grand in 2007.
It may well be that the dollar goes flat on its ass and that halfway towards your retirement, all you basically have left is your dick in your hand.
In getting rich schemes you should reckon with the value of your dollar halving every ten years.

You don't hoard your cash in pillowcases, you buy pork bellies and shit with it sillies.

I do really well and suspect this will continue, barring any unforeseen economic collapse (that whole peak oil thing). That said, I'm not a particularly driven person, my tastes are only mildly on the expensive side and could easily be satisfied with less money. The quality vs quantity quandary, sure it's cliche, but definitely worth embracing. I wonder what it is about money that makes people want it so bad. Do you guys want to buy expensive toys or something? Just curious. Living rich doesn't really require very much money if you play your cards right. After assessing your true desires (i.e. the goals which are really important to achieve for whatever reason), weed out the extraneous crap, you can really make your money work for you. Never underestimate the power of working on your people skills. Forging good working relationships in your chosen field will only serve you in the end. Whether you are a plumber, in the medical profession, a drug dealer, or an artist... it's all about the connections.

Wow, you have really high standards.

I guess simply being in the top 1% isnt enough to be rich

If you want to be financially independent in a first world country a million dollars is little to live of.
To have anywhere decent returns and live off profit you'll need at least 2.5 million in capital.

Having a million dollars locked up in savings and investments isn't much at all.
It's also a lot different than a having a million dollars per year income

Wrong. Its certainly less likely to lose value than cash, I agree.
Gold is fiat in a way. It needs the support of society to have any real value. Historically, not all cultures valued gold. Most did, some didnt. Real wealth is land, weapons, and food. The food comes from the land, and is protected by the weapons.

The value of gold and other precious metals fluctuates the same way other stocks and comodities do. When will people learn this?

With a million dollars you can live like a God in India, or you barely get by in the USA.
The most you can dependably make off of a million dollars is 4% annually. Thats 40K. Then the taxman comes and screws you in all sorts of ways and you'd be lucky to escape with $24K of that.
So off the dependable profit of one million dollars, you'd be only able to pay yourself $2.000 a month tops.
Doesn't exactly look like easy street does it?
In much of Europe, because of higher taxes, it would be more like $1.500 a month.
With $2.500.000 on the other hand you'd be looking at $5.000/month in the USA and $3.750/month in Europe. That wouldn't be "rich" as most people consider it, but you'd definitely get by much more gracefully.
By contrast, if you go live on the $2.5M standard in China or India, you would only need about $100.000 in capital for the same standard of living, and that could also be achieved for $40.000 in a country like Kenya.
Finally the budget price: if you want to have enough money to have a survivable income in a country like Kenya, you'd need a capital of about $20.000, the price of a kilo of gold, which puts you on an income comparable to a schoolteacher there. ($50/month) Take on a job there to boost your income and for a mere $20.000 you can get by well in a third-world country somewhere in Africa or Asia.
