Depending in which state you live in then that figure can be much higher or lower.
>But becoming a top earner within your state can vary considerably by region, with some wealthier states like **California and Connecticut requiring at least $1 million** in annual income to make the cut. By comparison, poorer states such as **West Virginia and Mississippi count the lowest thresholds, at about $420,000 and $440,000, respectively.**
