$80k/year is rich? That’s less than the median household income in a half-dozen states. 18% of Americans make over $100k/year.
Yes.
> That’s less than the median household income in a half-dozen states.
That's nice. Can you guess how many states there are in the world?
The fact that you're using the claim that a minority percentage in a single country makes a large amount of money as an argument for the claim that an 80.000 salary is not rich, is a stereotypically American myopic outlook at the world.
(1) EUR 80,000 > USD 80,000 (about USD 86,700)
(2) We’re discussing individual wages not household income of households where the average is >1 wage-earner.
(3) The highest US state median wage is a little over USD 80k, and less than EUR 80k.
(4) The US is a rich country, so, yes, median wage earners in the US as a whole (much less the median wage earner of the state scoring highest on that metric) are rich by any non-US-specific standard.
Yes, 80 thousand Euros per year wages is rich by most EU standards.

Wow, America, the richest country in the world, has many rich people. The more you learn.
