Not that hard to rack up that much. A single 2x boost for 30 gold. If you have 4 nests and 2 evo temples you likely had all 6 of them full of 20 hour-ish dragons once you received word a leaderboard event was coming. That gives you 6x20x3 = 360 doubled gives you 720 for that right at the outset. You likely have some from spins and milestone rewards, so let's say another 300. for just over 1000 total. If you use 1.2 million apples, that gives you 4800 points during a boost. Voila. 5800.

I currently have 2 million apples stockpiled, so I can do this boost at the very end with minimal gold, so it's definitely doable with very little gold. The trick is to hoard food. e.g. I never ever feed dragons except during leaderboard events (and when required for dragon tales or trading duplicates)
