Six figures is $100,000 - $999,999. More than six figures = $1,000,000+.
- jonknee 13y agoIt's worded poorly, but it means he's making more than $100k.
- eclipxe 13y agoClearly, but that is not what "more than six figures means".
- jonknee 13y agoNot technically, but it does colloquially.
- micheljansen 13y agoThey mean "more than the lowest amount that has six figures" (which is 100,000), but they say "more than six figures", which implies seven or more figures, e.g. 1,000,000 or more. Yay for context ;)
- SatvikBeri 13y agoI know it's not precise, but most people parse "six figures" as $100,000. "Multiple six figures" = $200k or more and "more than (six figures)" just means > $100k. The reason this happens is because it's often considered gauche to talk about income directly. I know it's imprecise and annoying, but it's a lot faster to adapt to the way the rest of the world speaks than to try to get them to change.
