No, not even close. If the top 1% makes nearly $400k/year, then the top 0.5% is probably at least double that.
- United857 13y agoI read somewhere (forgot exactly where) that top 1% threshold in the SF Bay Area is around the $900K mark, not the $370K national figure.
- pyrrhotech 13y agowho refers to local top 1%? That completely changes the picture. Most people in the so-called top 1% live in high cost areas. Changing the context invalidates any discussion.
- pyrrhotech 13y agoThere are cops and firefighters who alone make more than 400k+. An average one in SF of each makes 185k a year. Thus combined they are over the 1% threshold.
