If you're earning enough money over your lifetime to not only keep up with inflation, which will double your cost of living in real terms every 20 years or so. You need that much money to choose that kind of portfolio because you want to live off the returns from that portfolio. So this kind of a portfolio isn't designed to give you great returns. What its designed is to give you ok returns without any huge losses along the way.
