How do you expect 20k people under 21 have made 1 mil by themselves?

The only thing that pops to mind is an invention or a business (internet poker = business imo). Maybe there are a lot more people in this category than I thought.

how the ef is going to get verified?

If I decide to take the bet, we are going to hire some poor twoplustwo'er to do the research for us. and then we each get to critique it after he is done. so any volunteers let us know. I figure its going to take a really long time to look at everyhint though.

mutually-agreed upon independent auditor to do the research and come up with a report/estimate (broken down by specific categories) and a built-in appeals process if either of us disputes part of the estimate

That's what I was thinking too. 15k seems like alot though.
I was just looking at the Forbes topten under 21 Hollywood stars and the 10th spot was only a mil for 2006. Seems like a tough bet to verify, plus alot of these lists are part BS anyway.

Forbes doesn't report on very many celebrities etc. primarily just super rich people.
