US Census Bureau Document S1901, entitled INCOME IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS (IN 2010 INFLATION-ADJUSTED DOLLARS), shows 11.8% of households having an income of $100,000-149,999, 4.2% making $150,000-$199,999, and 3.9% making over $200,000. For non-family households, only 5.1% earn from $100,000-$149,999, 1.5% earn from $150,000-$199,999, and 1.4% earn over $200,000.

Summing these percentages, we find that 19.9% of households make $100,000 or more, and 8% of non-family households earn over $100,000 per year.

Notes: The majority of those making over $100,000 per year fall into the $100-149,999 category. However, due to increases in the cost of living, a person would need to make $172,103 today in order to have the same purchasing power as someone making $100,000 in 1990.

Not enough. Everyone else is struggling, while the rich prosper, the poor get poorer

As many as would like to minus those that are too lazy or too influenced by negative teachers, parents, and media.

Maybe tad over 10%, but to be considered in the top 10% of income earners, you will need to be making $113,000 and up
