By that logic, anyone making $1m/yr is also in the top 25% of earners
The author is trying to associate the extremely wealthy with those making $250k+/yr to impress how far apart the average person’s income is from this

The faulty logic lies in the original statement.
Perhaps:
"The average top 1% of earners make a lot less then $1m/yr and have a net worth well below $100m",
Or
You do not need to make close to $1M per year to qualify for the top 1%

That's exactly what my wife and I thought. Make 100 million. Ten million is going in the bank at least. Leave 100 million to shaky investments? No way.

I always promise God that if I win the big lotto prize I will spend much of the money tormenting the abortion loving Left.
I’ll also put Katy Sagal on Broadway as Lady MacBeth.
