I didn't realize that you could acquire wealth and social rank through the points we had. Is there anything you couldn't get with this system?
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

 Hm! So, how many total points do I have to work with?

350.

I've yet to add any wealth, status, allies or anything personalized to your character.

Yes, for a mere 40 points, you can become the god-king of the planet.

Status 8.. Of course, your cost of living would be $600,000,000.. a month.

350 total, and I've used 210. So...how much will rich, upper-class, witty jerk with a heart of gold set me back?

Depends.

How high-class and wealthy?

I'll probably do that.. then possibly Social Chameleon.. or not.. Some level of Smooth Operator...

Then the skills.. Many of them.

You have a minimum of 140 points left. Minus allies, wealth, status and misc. advantages you'd still have plenty.

Advantages are the most expensive part of a Gurps character. Skills tend to cost less.

If his father is a tycoon for something incredibly useful in society that will never go out of style in the foreseeable future, or his parents are both ace investors, he could be a billionaire. Even a multi-billionaire.

But if that costs too much, he could always be just a multi-millionaire. Or just a millionaire.

As for the other points, I hope I have enough to make things balanced for him. I want him to be well-rounded. I'm actually kinda feeling invested in this character now (even though I have yet to come up with a name for him).

[27], huh? Is that good or bad?

Is it high?

It will probably cost less than your wealth.

Well, I can do Filthy Rich [50], and then work my way up from there, if I don't have many more advantages that catch my eye.

You may also be interested in Independent Income.

[1]/level. Each level gives you a monthly income of 1% your starting wealth.

Sleeping now.

Oh, yeah, that sounds tempting. $50,000 bucks just on hand sounds pretty stinking sweet.

And it could be more with the Multi-Millionaire advantage. Certainly keeping that idea on retainer.
