In a recent post by Income Surfer, he mentioned that his recent purchase would immediately be joining the $500 club meaning that the position would provide $500 per year in dividends. I think that's a pretty prestigious club for a holding to be in because it generally means that you have a lot of conviction in the future of the company. So that got me wondering how many members of my portfolio belong to the different milestone clubs. Let's start with some general information before I narrow down my portfolio to the undisputed dividend champ. I own 51 different companies within my FI Portfolio, excluding my employers stock, and those companies will provide $5,997.39 in forward 12-month dividends. Each club level is inclusive of clubs in a higher level, i.e. a company that provides $205 in annual dividends will show up in the $100 Club and the $200 Club.
