1 I have heard a lot. But it seems a little old-fashioned. I wouldn't use it.
2 and 3 are very common and I would use them.
Maybe "nest egg" is more for older people. I'm in my 40's.

I've said, "sitting on a gold mine" a few times. I have never seen "nest egg," and have only read or seen "have the Midas touch" in books or films.
