This thread must make you very angry. Time to go "postal!!!"
Just kidding.
Most millionaires I know are pretty ordinary folk in a lot of ways, methodically accumulating wealth from humble beginnings and generally knowing the value of an individual buck.
You would never know them on the street by any hint of bling or flash or, in most cases, in the neighbourhood they live in.
They put their time in and, through fairly ordinary means, they ended up as millionaires.
My uncle is probably one of the richest guys in central Alberta but still lives in the same, small bungalow in Red Deer he built about 50 years ago.
I have seen people who can start with zero, make a million dollars in a small amount of time, lose it all and then do it all over again!!! Those are dynamic, hard-charging personalities. Those guys can be flashy with the bling.
Generally though, its about being methodical, consistent and prudent in your choices.
Income level is important to that but not everything.
PS: That poll should actually not stop at $100,000+. It should be $100,000, $200,000, $300,000 and then $400,000+
