How to unlock the Millionaire achievement in Torchlight III - Definitive Guide
The description of this achievement is slightly misleading. The achievement requires you to reach a cumulative total of 1,000,000 gold gathered; you do not have to have 1,000,000 gold at once. Progress is tracked by account, not by any individual character. Gold is accumulated through gold pickups and by selling items. Go ahead and sell all items found that you do not intend to use or collect for the set related achievements. This achievement should come naturally if you are diligent in selling items as you pursue the legendary armor set achievements. All characters share the account gold purse, which caps out at 20,000. Make sure to empty your coin purse now and then so you can keep making achievement progress (I recommend spending it at the gambler to knock out the legendary garb achievement).
Edit: The cap has been raised to 999,999 gold.

@Iggsy81 - sell everything. The amount of gold you pick up doesn't compare to selling the green and blue items (it's so disappointing to kill a boss and earn 13 gold). I wouldn't even bother with the Gold Luck stat, especially if you're also trying to unlock the 1 million monster kills as you'll easily unlock the gold prior to that.
Also, sell everything that you earn from contracts/fame (the essence bundle can be worth 332 gold), all of the Scroll of Lifebounds, the enchanting recipes, etc. I even sell some of my potions just to create vacant slots to pick more up.
I only keep one best version of my legendaries (assuming you've completed all of the other characters and the legendary achievements) and sell any other legendaries I pick up unless it improves my gear. I don't care about the enchantments enough to break anything down.
Also, have the 90% pet shop visit duration reduction tag equipped on your pet. Then it makes it trivial to send your pet to the store with all of the excess items you pick up.

If you want purely gold as fast as possible this guide is for you. Recently I have found a glitch to drop 500 gold while semi idling. All you need is Level 15 Forged class with Cyclone mode skill. This wasn't just another one off glitch. I managed to trigger it every time I've tried. What you need is any breakable object and continuosly use Cyclone skill around of it. It should drop approximately 500~ gold. Repeat this in any area with full off breakable while questing.
Here's the link of the video I captured on ridiculous difficulty for better gear drop. Once I reach 60 I'll test all possible methods for legendary gear:

I would highly advice using Extra gold gear. This is my new character so I can't really confirm higher amounts of gold. But it yields 500ish gold per breakable, more breakable=more gold.
