Currently, in the US, to be in the top 1% income-wise, you must earn at least $430K/year. If you'd rather look at it from a wealth perspective, to be in the top 1%, you must be worth at least $11.6M.

While I'm willing to bet there are definitely people here who fit one or both metrics, I'd be surprised if half the people here fit either.
