It's progressive... Now that I am starting 2011 at SN, I get 3.5 FPP per VPP and every 250,000 FPP = $4000 cash. So, you get those at a steady pace all year. 1 million VPP = 3.5 million FPP = $56k. Only make it half way, and you still get half... $28k.

The other rewards grow progressively. First, there are the Stellar rewards which add up to $1200 for the first 100,000 VPPs:

Yearly VPP: VIP Stellar Reward: Cumulative VIP Stellar Rewards:
750 $10 $10
1,500 $10 $20
2,250 $10 $30
3,000 $10 $40
4,000 $10 $50
5,000 $50 $100
10,000 $50 $150
15,000 $50 $200
20,000 $50 $250
25,000 $50 $300
30,000 $50 $350
35,000 $50 $400
40,000 $50 $450
45,000 $50 $500
50,000 $100 $600
60,000 $100 $700
70,000 $100 $800
80,000 $100 $900
90,000 $100 $1,000
100,000 $200 $1,200

Then come the bigger milestone bonuses for every additional 100,000 VPPs:
$2,600 at 200,000 VPP
$2,800 at 300,000 VPP
$3,000 at 400,000 VPP
$3,200 at 500,000 VPP
$3,600 at 600,000 VPP
$3,800 at 700,000 VPP
$4,200 at 800,000 VPP
($24,400 in bonuses to this point)

And finally:
$20,000 at 1,000,000 VPPs + a $5200 WCOOP Main Event Seat
($49,600 through here)

So, with the FPP money, that's $105,600 in cash bonuses for reaching SNE. Making it halfway would be $40,800 - still respectable, but it's definitely weighted toward the back end. Of course, by playing less tables/hours/stakes, you could probably earn more (lose less?) at the tables, so the difference may not be as big as it seems when you factor in the money you win.lose at the tables to figure out your true bottom line.

It actually continues beyond that for the sickest of the sickos, but I will definitely be done at 1 million VPPs. For fun though, here is the rest:
$9,200 at 1,250,000 VPPs
$9,200 at 1,500,000 VPPs
$9,200 at 1,750,000 VPPs
$19,200 at 2,000,000 VPPs
$9,200 at 2,250,000 VPPs
$9,200 at 2,500,000 VPPs
$9,200 at 2,750,000 VPPs
$19,200 at 3,000,000 VPPs
