There's no definitive answer as far as the maximum exposure. It varies by your profile. Yes business and personal are all under the same exposure.
It's possible that you still have a ways to go before you hit that wall.

I would say as long as your income supports it, then skies the limit! Just be able to provide the supporting documents if you're ever hit with an FR.

Proof of income and FR are two different things many people get confused here Smiley Happy... Asking for a higher limit isnt a FR although yes you would probably have to provide 4506-t if they want said limit, but a FR is a freeze being put on your accounts.  So quite a difference.

Not that it still isn't a lot of money, but that was in Hong Kong dollars.  In US dollars it's about $22,000,000.
