For the sake of this discussion, those with income above $415,051 / year (this number adjusts with inflation; i.e., it's in 2016 dollars).

hmmm.. that's a minnow to the really rich pips
I've seen a documentary of rich kids from HK and China
their small yacht costs more than that
one Chinese guy is a jeweler in the UK

i wonder what he makes in a year
