If you think “wealth” and “prosperity” when you hear the term “upper class,” you wouldn’t be too far off. Upper-class individuals are those who make more than $169,800 a year, according to Pew Research Center (assuming three-person households).
For retirees, it’s less about salary than it is about having a high net worth. GOBankingRates found that upper class retirees have between $714,000 and $2.1 million net worth.
