Prolly been asked infinite amount of times but the 2p2 search feature outplays me everytime.

how much is being a Supernova worth yearly?
i've heard around 20k and also 40k. seems a bit much.
i know it depends on how close u get to elite and the VPP escalator bonuses.

any takers?
bonus: i traveled 3000 miles to take this picture..

Why didn't you clean the star before taking the picture? Normally I wouldn't ask, but after traveling 3k miles ...

There is really no way to calculate this without more information.

Assuming someone starts off at Supernova they have to earn 100,000 points by June. So at that pace they would earn 200,000 a year assuming consistent playing.

The value would then be $12465 + whatever you earn on the VIP Tournaments.

At the other extreme would be someone who gets to SNE on Dec 31. The value for this person would be $73,825 + whatever the person won at the VIP Tournaments + ~ $30,000 in tournaments given to you when you hit SNE.

Now the middle point would be 500k points a year and that would be $38,995 + whatever the VIP tournaments are worth.

im too lazy to do the math again, but i did it once and figured out i made more than 30% rakeback essentially by being a nova. that was good enough for me, and i stopped thinking about it and just kept playing. FWIW im on pace for about 230-250 thousand VPPs

250k base points if you were supernova to start would be worth $15,282.50

Well assuming you were supernova from the start

250,000 base point * 3.5 = 875,000 points total

You hit one milestone so 50,000 is traded for $2000
The rest 825,000 is worth 0.0161 each for $13,282.50

ok that makes sense, the one thing i would change would be the value of the FPP's. i think valuing them at the concierge price is overestimating, most decent-volume supernovas do the 100k for 1500 deal, right? that would value FPP's at .015 dollars

Yup. I use to do it at 0.015 but since I found out you can do items as low as $500 via concierge I switched. Extra 7% in value for scanning a receipt and sending an e-mail.
