Suggesting an income above $200k makes you upper class is laughable.
Being upper class includes things like education, lifestyle, connections, etc. And as for financial qualifications, it's about net worth, not income.
Say your family is worth $50M and you decide to become a professor or a doctor (GP). You could easily be making less than $200k per year. But that doesn't change your status in the least.
Conversely, a regular Joe that starts making decent coin doesn't suddenly get invited to the Country Club. Even making $500k to $1M a year won't change your status, it'll just get you nicer toys and a (much) bigger middle class home.
