I RE'd back in August 2013 (3 years and 9 months ago) and NW now at 154...but my wife didn't RE until September 2015 so that helped out quite a bit. Our "income" is more than our expenses so we are still able to invest and keep our portfolio fairly heavy on equities at 70%.

A bit over 3.5 years since I fired in September 2013 and somewhere between 119 and 127 depending on which property values I use.

Wow. Your portfolio more than doubled in just over 4 years? How'd you accomplish that if you don't mind my asking? Was this totaling from appreciation or some other new source of funds?
Edit: I see that the OP clarified his response

DH retired almost exactly 9 years ago and I have been semi-retired during the same period. Assets up 192. Admittedly my contributions helped out a lot, but also DH retired 9 months before the trough (3/09) during which time assets declined to 75.

Yeah....I did a lot of  during that period. But survived.
My numbers are similar to yours w/o inheritance over a 10 year period. No pensions during that period except for SS that I started just 3 months ago. Including money from family deaths, I'm around 180. I've probably been too conservative with my investments but have slept better.

I am at 132 which shocked me since I retired in Jan. 2008 and proceeded to lose 40% of my portfolio . From the drop to now I am at almost 200% .

If folks take inflation into account since retiring the result are a little less impressive.
Still, no question, the rally since the last bear market has been spectacular.
