But we are specifically talking about graduates being paid quarter of a million dollars, so why are you bringing absolute numbers into the mix? Should I compare it against the absolute number of people working everywhere in the world? Because then that million won't be so large suddenly.

If you want to do this properly tell me how many graduates out of all graduates per year get paid quarter of a million dollars when they start. Because it will be such an insignificant number that again - using the word "typical" to describe it will be just delusional.

I was paid nearly $200k on graduation. And I was the least paid out of all my classmates, because I went to Seattle instead of Silicon Valley.

The Median Income in King County, where you work, is 90k / year. That's absurdly high in this country; but it's still less than HALF what you make. Check yourself.
