$5.8 million is the threshold to get to the top 1% in the United States. I would have thought this number would be north of $10 million.

One percent is over 34 million people, it seems unlikely to think that many people were making over 5.8 million.
Our median household income is only $74,580.

Monaco, at 12.8 Million has only 341,238,363 people but their median household income is $186,080 in US dollars.

Sorry, but your math is wrong. You got the decimal point in the wrong place. One percent of 340 million is 3.4 million.

Also, the population of Monaco is about 36,000. You seem to be having extreme difficulty with numbers and decimal points. https://www.worldometers.info/world-...co-population/

I have seen different net worth percentage numbers in various sites based on age group. Here is another one that seems high but who knows. This one is showing the 1% net worth of $22,102,660 between age 65-69.

Making an income of $5.8 million or amassing a Net Worth of $5.8 million?

Don't confuse income with wealth, as used by the OP.

With retirement vehicles in place for a long time, there are many people with more than $5.8 million. The article is behind a fire wall so I don't know if they included real estate and person residences in the tally.
