It's not at the top. Let's use a bit of nuance here. A family could be making $250K with the husband being an engineer and the wife being a principal. Do you truly believe a family like that has anything in common with a family that's on the Forbes list? You'd have much more in common with regular people than those types.
i get your point but you're totally wrong
The median wage in the United States during 2016 is estimated to be $30,533 per year.
This is based on 163,520,606 workers.
- 70,075,212 people earned under $25,000 – 42.85% of the total
- 44,496,340 people earned between $20,000 and 50,000 – 27.21% of the total
So, with 71.78% in 2014, 70.59% in 2015 and 70.06% in 2016, I would estimate about 68% to 69% in 2018.
only 30% of the country makes over 50k a year... so at 250 you definitely closer and more aligned with the top. that's what people don't get. most of america is BROKE.. avg household (anyone in house over 15 with a job) is damn 56k...
people don't realize how much better off they are just by making 51k a year
