Start with two million and send half of it my way. ;)

More seriously, why are you aiming so low if your goal is to use money to induce pride? Caring about dollars suggests the USA*, where a mere one million can be earned the boring way by working as a software developer for, like, 7 years or something.

Also more seriously, find a better way to make people proud. Money is an endless treadmill of anxiety and one-upmanship if you don't have a specific end in mind.

* but could also be Canada, Australia, NZ, or a few other places
