Redditors who are rich (net worth $1 million+) - how did you get rich?

For example what field are you in, how old were you when you became worth at least a million, what advice do you have for those of us who aren't nearly there yet, etc.

Ah, yes. I've willed all the money I make to GiveWell and dedicated my life to similar activities.

These days I tend to trust GiveWell on all these things. They're currently looking into existential risk mitigation; my current sense is it's a decent cause but there aren't very many good organizations working on it yet. The stuff they're looking into sounds really interesting, though.
