Lol, you guys can just ask if you want ;)
Rough guesstimates, but altogether I have approx 20MM miles and have probably spent about 7MM lifetime.

Guys like Ben, Brian, and Daraius are much newer to the game and play it very differently than I do. And their blogs are far more mainstream and in the media.
This officially beats the mishpocha seasons ad, as biggest hock of the week

Let me guess, if we count all the UA flights you have on hold at any given time that pushes the number up to 30mm?

I never under stood this, but How do bloggers mainly Ben Shlapig from onemileatatime.boardingarea.com, The Points Guy and kellydaoud.com fly on First class every other week? there is a certain amount of credit cards that one can open and even if their family members  give them points that would not be enough to fly almost every other week on First class.
They buy miles and write it off as a business expense.

Do they buy from dealers (cheaper) or from the airlines?

The Lakewood store is already built. The structure is up. The inside isn't done yet.
