A $250K household income is on the 96 percentile for San Francisco. Working in tech gives us a slightly warped perspective.
Moving from Britain to the US I've seen the income of my profession as a software engineer move from the 75th to 90th percentile and the variance of the income distribution widen so an income of the 90th percentile earns 2.6x rather than 2.0x the median. We're far richer here than we were at home.
