What investment is making you 10%+ yearly?

For truly passive investment returns,without the active involvement required in flipping houses for example, which I don't consider truly passive because they require your time and effort,Private Equity (PE) funds and late-stage, proven VC funds stand out. Between the two, I’d choose Private Equity for its stability and consistent returns. While some VC funds might deliver a 70% IRR, others could yield zero, making it a riskier bet unless you’re in the industry and know what you’re doing.
Good PE firms typically generate net IRRs of 15-20%, while top-tier ones achieve 25-30%, which is objectively hard to beat. That’s why billionaires and the world’s best investors,including Ivy League endowment funds,allocate significant exposure to it.
Since PE investments require capital calls over time, family offices and HNWIs often balance them with index funds or ETFs to maintain liquidity and ensure they have capital readily available. Timing capital calls is unpredictable and ultimately depends on the GP’s (fund manager’s) decision, so this approach allows them to earn some yield on idle capital while waiting for deployment. This is also why a well-managed wealth portfolio with significant exposure to "alternatives" (this kind of investments) should yield 12-15% annually on a blended basis, compared to ETFs alone, which typically return around 8%.

So you're saying you've done business with @JohnnyDoe, but then you actually haven't! Are you being paid by @JohnnyDoe to promote him, or why are you lying? Why not just stay out of the thread if you have nothing useful to contribute?
As a wrote here, I looked into the proposed venture and concluded it was legit and deserves investment. I finally did not end up investing myself.
If something is too good to be true, it usually is. You can also ask yourself how will they be able to make more than 10 percent of your deposited money? Why are they paying way more than other banks? It's a common scam in finance to gain the trust of clients, with offers too good to be true, paying them in the first couple of years before taking all the money and running away. I hope none here will get burned from @cryptofriendly words. And I can guarantee in the near future you'll hear about pandabank magically going "bankrupt" .
Use some common sense.

I was always under the impression that a 10% annual return on investments wasn't unusual.
If that's not the case, how can so many people live off their returns alone? Is it because they have tens of millions invested?
If that's true, then they wouldn’t need to work anyway and could just live off their wealth!
I don’t get it, can someone help?

Mining Bitcoin returns more than 10% annually, in addition to:
- Constantly rebuying and reselling ASICs to mitigate the risk of hardware damage.
- Additionally always selling when you are far (depending on risk) from the 200-week average, and holding/accumulating on/below.

You have to be careful about how you invest: directly, through a funder, or via a listed company. The last option is the easiest, but I don't recommend it. See for example the performance of Omni Bridgeway: they are sucking all their share value to pay the profits to the LPs and the overhead costs.
You can make more than 20-25% per year if you choose wisely. The main risk is the timeframe, as litigation can drag on for years for no real reasons, so this is not to be considered a liquid investment.
The average success rate of funders is 70%. If you build a portfolio of 4-5 different cases you should be well covered.

Yes. Would be interested in details too. Are you finding those deals? As far as I remember you once were looking for funding for your case. How did that end up?
Edit: I think it was this case, most likely

How about investing directly into listed companies like for example Panthera Resources (billion $$$ claim vs. India regarding their canceled license in Rajastan?), and diversifying by doing it with 5 different one's?
Equity markets. Buying healthy value stocks with solid dividends that are undervalued in the medium term due to macro factors. Growth stocks suffering a similar affliction can also be profitable.
Nestle just gained 19% in a month. SoFi gained 90% since August. Sea Limited gained around 200% since Nov. 2023. NVIDIA is up 1000%+ since 2019. AT&T is up 20% plus 6% dividend this year. Verizon had a nice gain in share price since January and has a 7% dividend yield. EPD bought in 2022 yielded 30% capital gain and 8% distribution tax free as it’s a MLP. Buying into a Hang Seng index tracking fund in February of last year and exiting in the fall would have netted 30-40%. BTC has done quite well since summer. MercadoLibre has returned about 60% over two years (more if you had good timing). The ships have sailed on all of those, but they were obvious moves at the time and did well for me. There are others now. There will be others in the future.
In the interest of humility, I once bought stock in Credit Suisse. There is risk. Outcomes are not guaranteed.
Dollar or Euro denominated foreign government bonds in emerging regions that have some risk but where there may be mispricing of the risk over shorter timelines. Turkey and Armenia are two such places right now, in my opinion.
