CNBC
— Here’s how much money you have to earn to be considered upper-class – Kathleen Elkins (DIERSEN: How much income and net worth does it take to be “middle class” in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, in Illinois, and in America? The higher that the cost of living is where you live, the more income and the more net worth that you need to be “middle class.”)
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/17/how-much-money-you-have-to-earn-to-be-in-the-upper-class.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Of course, there’s more to class than income: Class can also encompass net worth, education, background and occupation, for example, as well as other factors. For these purposes, however, Pew refers to income and class interchangeably. What it takes to be upper-class also depends on where you live. For a more accurate reflection of which group you’re in, use Pew’s income calculator, which adjusts for the cost of living in your area, as well as the number of people in your household.)
