Baybrooke mentioned his estimate of net worth of the group is greater than $100m. I wondered what perplexity thought.

I have one definite data point, mine.

One member made $800k on his BRK in one day, so my estimate is $25m.

There are some retired petroleum engineers or who have spouses that worked for oil majors. Generally highly paid with good pensions.

A few early retirees.

Some living in fairly expensive locations.

Most long term investors.

Group size 50.

Upper bound $30m. Just a guess. A bit bigger than the known sample point.

Lower bound $2m

Result, about $900m total net worth using perplexity.

Very sensitive to the $25m being a random sample point.
