Tbh, my definition would be based less on fact than feeling. I lived in Brooklyn, and not terribly nice area of Brooklyn, so to me, "rich white people" were the ones who lived in nice apartments in Manhattan, or in really nice neighborhoods in Brooklyn. So I'd doubt all of their parents made more than 1mil/year, but I'm sure some did. If I had to ballpark, they probably made ~500k/year on average.
> I certainly didn't met any kids in high school that had any kind of money to flash (a fancy car or other expensive things to show off).
I've never met anyone that's similar to Hollywood movie characters. I'm not sure they really "flashed" their money, but it was clear they had access to nice things. Their clothes were definitely nicer, their parents would take them out to plays and expensive dinners.
It's possible this is the case because I grew up in NYC as opposed to the suburbs. The stereotypical "rich white person" in New York is exorbitantly rich. Maybe I'm just referring to those who were upper-middle class
