No. Here, I'll give you Warren Buffett/Peter Diamond returns(20% annualized)
$2500 * 1.2^10 = X
$2500 * 6.1917 = X
$15479.34
Neck yourself. How do you become George Soros? You are born as George Soros, or you're ruthless enough to pull a Bill Gates/Zuckerfuckerberg and build it yourself, which again, entails being born into very high upper-middle/upper class at the right time.

Woops, meant Peter Lynch.
FYI, you'd need ~79% annualized returns for 10 years straight to hit 800k off of 2.5k. Jim Cramer's best brag was like one or two 50% years, Peter Lynch's run was 29% annualized. And that's without the tax consequences.

You nit, DRIP only works at the yield of the dividend. Let's say I buy GE, that only gives me a 3% yield.
No decent company gives more than a ~6% yield, and only odd companies like mREITs can push into the 10% range. Compounding works the same, whether you're compounding DRIP returns, or capital gains returns.
