For the world is any engineer in Silicon Valley is a 1%'er.

For the US at $200k you are a 95%'er At $550k you are a 99%

That's a lot different than "C-Level" and "millions in liquid assets"

A lot of people at Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, and Microsoft are 95th percentile.

Quite a few are 98th percentile.
