There have been MANY threads on this and similar subjects in this forum over the years. IIRC someone posted that the head guy of Lions or Rotary clocked up an equally amazing number of miles. A check via "search" will I am sure find some previous references if you are interested.
I know of several FT'ers who do or have done around or above 500,000 flown miles a year. stimpy and cescog are 2 others that come immediately to mind and I recall reading Markie has also clocked up telephone numbers some years. As long as it is being done in sleeper First on 747s it is not too hard to take I bet. 
The jeg lag is not bad if you sleep correctly on planes. I got back this Monday 7am from IAD-LAX-SYD, stayed up all day and went to sleep that evening here at a normal time and I feel fine. That is about 24 hours on planes and in airports, after I was up all day in IAD. Decent seats and long sleeps in flight are the keys.
Oh, and Temazepan is essential.

I don't doubt some folks are flying 500 kmiles/yr. But this is a far cry from "well over 1 million." I'll get out my atlas to calculate the difference.
