I assume they mean top %1 in income (not net worth).

Apparently that put your yearly income at $361,020 (according to some searching I did). To be in the top 1% net worth wise you'll need $11,099,166.

The first seems strange to me. At $361k/year I do not see many avenue to find tax loop holes. You'll get a salary, maybe some RSUs, and you'll just duly be taxed.

If, on the other hand, your net worth is $11m, you'll probably be able to find many avenues to save on taxes (maybe all you have is long term capital gains, or whatever).

But since the talk about income in the article, I'm somewhat confused.
