A simple math.
They guy says he gets his miles mostly from flying, assuming he flies first class with EXP status at AA.
A round trip Chicago to Rome will award him 25,000 miles, counting 50% class and 100% EXP bonuses. He only needs to fly 40 round trips a year, which is reasonable.</font>
Don't forget that until recently cashing in earned stickers (which an EXP flying only paid F internationally would never use otherwise) would have added another 10K to that total, so less than 30 Chicago - Rome RTs (a little more than twice a month) could put someone at a million miles earned that year from travel alone.
