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.

Probably gone even faster as wouldn't you need a lot more rats to equal what you could get from a squirrel?

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