nice Adventure Time reference as your username. Personally, probably real estate investor. Everyone I know that's made it in that field is enjoying it a lot and having fun, can't always say the same for the others.
As a social climber and someone who loves power, I would take: politics > government > actor > Entrepreneur/Silicon Valley > Academia; these are all industries that have little upside for average performers. But realistically with my skillset and taking into expected value, Engineer/PE > Entrepreneur/Silicon Valley.
Politics
What does 100% successful even mean in politics? You win every election? Every policy you want gets passed?
I assumed it meant nearly every policy I want gets passed, within reason.
it means you're elected for a big position, like congressman
How is actor not number 1 for everyone?
You’d rather be Elon Musk or Henry Kravitz over Leo D?

not only that, but they're just actors. Craig Robinson (not great live sadly btw) said it best in This is the End:
"We are actors, we pretend to be hard."
Piloting. Would be cool to be a Top Gun tier pilot. I'm federally barred from receiving a pilots license though unfortunately.
Other than that, maybe music writer or poet.
