140k is an incredible salary in the UK though, like top 0.1% at least.

It's also hard to compare things 1:1 - since the NHS is "free" (via taxation), but it doesn't cover dentistry at all really whereas equivalent good US health insurances will do.

You're off but not by much, 1% earn over 183k, 2% earn over 128k and 3% earn over 104k meaning they were in the top 2% of income earners.

Also top deciles are concentrated in London / the south east so a lower %ile when you restrict to London

Incredible salary in the UK != incredible salary in London

You are gated from almost nothing in London on £140K -- the only meaningful exception would be buying a house in a central location
