Wealth is not directly related to income. The usual measure of wealth is "Net Worth", which is the total value of an individual's assets (not including a primary residence and not including cars) minus any debts (mortgage, car loans, credit cards).

The usual rule of thumb is that you need to have accumulated a net worth that is 20 times the net income that you need. Or, to look at it another way, you need to be able to live on a 5% return on your assets.
There are many people who have high incomes, but have not accumulated very much wealth.
