In the MTT Community forum, Rizen sort of admitted his grind rate was perhaps a bit north of 200 $/hr. He plays a mix of MTT and cash and does not like to play excessive hours. So, even if we figure him on a 40 hr workweek and 2 wks vacation per year, that's 2000 * 200-250 $/hr = $400-500K / yr

Your post is quite sensible until the last part. He says he doesn't like to play excessive hours, which you equate to being 40 hours per week. I'm afraid that what he means is that he plays ~10-20 hours per week. I know a lot of big winners who do not put in more than 30k hands/month, or less.
