but $20k is like, a year's tuition at a University. Did parent also rent a mansion to live in while attending?
Or like a whole degree from bachelor to masters and a 15.000$ car (in Europe)

I don't see why. Major consumer-grade French ISPs give IPv6 by default on FTTH installations and the router is configured accordingly (Orange, Free, SFR, Bouygues Telecom). Generally, you get a /64. Of course, when using IPv6 there is no NATting, each of your device has its own IPv6 address of the /64 range allocated to you.
And yet they are still not doing it properly: they are supposed to be giving at least /48 for businesses and /56 for customers: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-690

You may be interested in jq : > jq is like sed for JSON data - you can use it to slice and filter and map and transform structured data with the same ease that sed, awk, grep and friends let you play with text. * https://stedolan.github.io/jq/
With jq and curl curl -s https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json | jq '.prefixes | .[].ip_prefix | .[-3:]' | sort | uniq -c
Netmasks might not always be three characters.
Perhaps something like this:
curl -sf https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json | jq -r '.prefixes[].ip_prefix' | grep -o '/.*' | sort | uniq -c
curl -sf https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json | jq 'reduce (.prefixes[].ip_prefix | split("/")[1]) as $mask ({}; .[$mask] += 1)'

Very often your residential connection is sold as proxy to e.g. circumvent rate limits. Companies like luminati are used for example for scraping google search results and many more things.
My startup offers a residential IP sharing model where users get paid to share their bandwidth: https://packetstream.io
Is being a packeter safer than running a tor exit node? I'd worry that the people willing to run this risk for a small income couldn't afford adequate legal defense if necessary.

also someone tell them about curl

There's a lot to be said about the anxiety of "I'm making a lot of money doing something I don't understand". I've backed out of businesses where I could have been a millionaire but also could have been in prison for violating some law/regulation that I knew nothing about. It starts feeling like you're running a scam.
For $20k a month I would have started educating myself real fast.

Use DNS, that’s what it’s there for. MAC addresses aren’t referred to as fundamentally flawed and they are approximately the same length as the shorted version of the address you posted.
Do you ever configure, type or have to share MAC addresses? Probably not. On the other hand, most devs / technical staff type IPs into the browser and terminal daily.
No they don’t. Configure a DNS server and type these in once. Any time I see IP addresses passed around it’s a sign of broken infrastructure. (It also means you aren’t using tls or you’re training people to accept cert errors)

Forget DNS. Use an overlay with content routing. Hierarchies suck. It's extremely hyperbolic to call an ugly syntax a bad "design". But IMO it would have been much nicer if they just reused '.' as in IPv4. ':' seemingly came out of their pie in the sky desire to replace MACs. Speaking of MACs, every time every time I see some cheap trash gizmo come with its own MAC I'm surprised there isn't address space pressure. I…
It’s funny, there is an interview with Vint Cerf where he mentions the choice of 32 bit address space for ipv4 was essentially pulled out of a hat and it could just as easily have been 48/64/24.

Many people think they are buying some sort of security.
I don't think that's unintentional either. All my targeted ads lately have been for VPNs, and anecdotally every single one has made a huge deal about the dangers of roaming the internet when not "protected" by a VPN. Every single one of my non-tech friends who has asked about security and privacy has had similar misconceptions too.
I used to own 10k IP addresses that I sold as proxy servers to internet marketers. I made about $20k a month and it paid my bills through college. I had no idea what I was doing and eventually shut down the company, but damn, I wish I at least kept control of those things. If you want to see some sketchy shit, look deeply into what the VPN companies are doing.
