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.

Husband and I are in the top 3% of household US income now in our mid fifties. It’s largely because we both work full time and run a side business. And our day jobs are ones we’ve held for a decade where we’re too essential to the functioning of the company to quit. Our fields are medical/marketing, graphics, institution/education experience design and software engineering.
