That's an interesting attempt to deflect from the income disparity between those in executive positions to those that work for them. Even in tech, while the salaries of tech workers is high it's nothing compared to the execs. But let's follow the deflection. Instead of monetary disparity, lets look at energy waste disparity. It was recently shown that the top 10% wealthiest Americans contribute to 40% of the greenhouse gas emissions in the country. As you said, we are all on the same planet. just because they have managed to grab a bigger piece of the pie shouldn't mean that they get to pollute the planet more than anyone else. In both cases the mindset needs to change and those at the top maybe need to be a little less greedy overall. source: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2023/08/230817163849.h... |

That's quite the arbitrary line to draw. Different roles have different labor markets. If you're a software engineer you are probably getting paid 10 times more than an EA.

To be in the top 10% in America in terms of wealth, your net worth needs to be ~$850k. To be in the top 10% in America in terms of wages, your annual comp needs to be ~$175.
That means probably most senior software engineers are in that bracket - https://www.levels.fyi/
