Well, in the US the equivalent would be around 200k USD.
You should also take into account the marginal tax rate of 52%, which yields a net income of a bit below 4k/month.
I'm not really complaining, mind you. It's nice to live in a country where basically nobody sleeps on the street, medical assistance is available (if you really need it) and basically free, the infrastructure is great etc.
More than twice the average income? I don't know whether that qualifies as "shitload", but it's not that far away, no?
