You might want to keep this in mind too:

"The distribution of income among individuals differs substantially from household incomes as 42% of all households had two or more income earners. As a result 20.5% of households have six figure incomes, even though only 6.24% of Americans had incomes exceeding $100,000"

If you question any of the figures, refer to the source listed at the bottom of the page. If there is no source, feel free to question away It is wikipedia after all.
