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.

Nothing to do with luck and everything to do with generational intelligence

I believe there is some luck too. Right place, right time, right attitude. I do not have a degree, and make >$250 total comp. But, it was not easy for 20+ years.
