Rich is a subjective term. While one person might feel rich making $100,000 per year, that salary would be a significant fall from grace for Kim Kardashian or Elon Musk. If we define rich as double the median national household income of $67,500 in 2020, then a salary of $135,000 or more would make you rich by this metric. When considering what salary would make you rich, it’s best to think about your specific situation and goals.
