If you’re earning that much money, you’ll pretty quickly end up in the 1% of net worth.
And these people earn around 10x the typical household income.

Look, here’s a thing. 40% of all land in England is owned just by around 200 families. And they are laughing their arses off when they hear that peasants earning £181k per annum are rich.

Top 1% of income from all sources which includes your 200 mega rich families. 1% of 70m people is 700k people. Of course the top 0.1% are way richer.

No, these 200 families don’t have PAYE income at all. Man, you people are so ignorant… No wonder the rich play you like the fools.

So? A lot of people dont have PAYE income, they still have income. What point are you trying to make? Are you trying to argue that £181k doesnt put you in the top 1%?

His point is the only really rich people are the fantastical ones in his mind and are cartoonishly rich instead of just real life rich cause it’s easier to draw a dividing line and come to an answer.

People on PAYE are not rich.
