How much does the top 5% in America make?

Answer by  YourMoneyAnswerGal (654)

The top 5% of Americans make a little over $157,000 a year. This comprises about 5. 5 millions of American households. Most are two-wage earner households comprised of persons with bachelor's or master's degrees. There is a significant percentage of wage earners who do not hold higher degrees, generally in the construction or manufacturing sector.

Based on what I could find the top 5% is in the 250,000 per year range. That is the low end of the scale, figure goes up to millions yearly.
