Have you ever asked yourself how much people who belong to the so-called upper class earn net?
Money alone may not bring happiness.
But anyone who says it isn't essential is lying to themselves. While some people feel like they think twice before spending it, others -- at least in terms of salary -- are so-called upper class.
What exactly does "upper class" mean?
To be one of the
top earners
, you don't necessarily have to drive a fat car, fly on vacation twice a year or live in a swanky villa.
According to a
study by the German Economic Institute
, one belongs to the top ten percent with much lower incomes.
For this study, private households were asked about their net income.
According to the German Economic Institute, a family with two children under the age of 14 belongs to the upper class with a net income of 7,412 euros or more.
