If you skinned and sold squirrels at a rate of 7.56 squirrels per second, you'd reach his wealth in just 100 years! All it takes is a little hard work!

They'd also go extinct after 1 year. Maybe switch to rats.

Even if you don't end up rich, eradicating squirrels is a pretty good consolation prize.

Rats don't have bushy tails, so you'd lose most of the value.
