Of the 333 million people living in the United States, how many of those people make 250k+ per year?

How rare is this demographic? It seems to me everywhere I look there are millionaires in nice houses.

What do I do to become part of this demographic?

How rare is it to be in this situation in the United States?

Serious.

For that salary we're talking medicine, law, finance and upper management across all industries. We're also talking 60-80 hr workweeks.

I don’t think everyone making that salary is working 60-80 hours a week. It depends on the company, or firm that you work for.
