I like how most of HN is probably comfortably within the 1%, but as soon as we start talking about ‘owners of real estate in SF’, we are easily able to call them ‘the rich’, because the wealth is on a completely different level.


Most? You’ve gotta be earning more than 400k to get into the 1%.

Top 10% maybe, since that’s around 125-150k.


According to this, in 2008 UN researcher determined the 10% threshold was $61K in 2000 dollars. It’s now 2020...

That’s a very US centric view.


Most of HN is in the 1%? Maybe globally, but I doubt most of HN is in the 1% of America.

A couple of two, both making $200k/year is outside the 1%.
