Thanks for your candid response!
However it does confirm that I will never see these numbers in my lifetime.
I doubt it means much, but the first 12 years of my career were on a more modest path. Luck and opportunity have an outsized impact. The only "smart" thing I did was leave a comfortable job for a higher stress one, but that's probably survivorship bias talking.
