I retired early as a financial planner/money manager.

You just need to find 100 people that will give you $1M to invest (don't waste your time with much less). It helps if you time it so that a President like Ronald Reagan is elected and lowers tax rates while providing an economic environment for increased productivity.

After reading the recent newspaper headlines, I'd recommend being a tax lawyer or criminal lawyer. It is true: "Crime pays; ask a lawyer".
