What do the richest people in your city or town do for a living? How much do they make yearly? Besides the people that inherited a frick ton of money.

You are asking two different questions, who is the richest would refer to net worth, and is not exactly tied to income, they could have been very successful with investments, growing a business etc. Having a very high annual income doesn't always translate into long term wealth, a lot of people simply spend it all, or make poor investment choices. The richest person I know got that way building a business over 30 years and selling it, but he had a modest income over that 30 years. The person I know with the highest annual income is a neurosurgeon, but his net worth is less than that of the former business owner.
