If this guy really is in the top 20% — and I’m assuming he chose that number because he just made the cut-off — then he probably makes about $90,000 a year. That may sound like a lot of money, but the minimum income for someone in the top 1% is $380,000. That’s over four times what this guy makes.
The median household income in the United States is $50,221.
That means this guy’s income is only about 80% more than the average household in America, whereas the very poorest member of the top 1% makes more than 650% of the average.
All that hard work he’s bragging about has earned him very little by comparison.
This guy actually has more in common with the 80% who make less money than he does with the richest 1% of earners … and he doesn’t even know it.
