If you go to the other extreme no one but the richest person on earth is priviledged.

Come on, making 300k a year or more is privilege even within the context of US white collar jobs.

Regardless of the number, getting paid for your labor & skills is not "privilege". Employees at Google are getting fleeced by the corporation and its shareholders just like the rest of us are by ours. Remember the big tech poaching scandal from a decade ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Tech_Employee_Antitrust_L...)?
