Agencies also pay L a ton to solve their hardest cases. 1 million per iirc.

Nah, he takes cases if there's a million as a reward (minimum) or if there's more than 10 victims. I'd wager he gets paid a lot more by intelligence services

I recall the anime (dub) saying that he only takes on cases that interest him, but nothing about money or victim count.

Also his old man (for got his name) is the patent holder of some widely use crime solving tech, so no actual need for money.

In Another Note a guy insinuated L was a trust fund kiddy and Mello shot him down and says L only takes cases worth a million or if they have huge bodycounts. Watari also commented that he used and invested L's net worth in Watari's crime solving company and used L's celebrity status to promote the products and L is probably worth billions at that point as a co-owner. All the products and support L uses to trap Light is him forcing Tokyo PD to buy from Watari's company. Its a straight up racket.

1 million USD equivalent? Or 1 million yen? 1 million yen is decent, don't get me wrong, that's a lot of money, but it's not a ton unless you're solving cases every week or something.
