To get into the top .01% in Louisiana you must earn $5,717,205. The average for the top .01% is $15,290,710.

So there's only 465 people in this state making $5.7MM? That seems low.

Here is a better map to help you find out within your state (inside and outside metro areas) where you fall.

What percent are you?

I kind of think that people who think that seems low don't know how to math very well. Which also makes me think that they are overstating their income. 1 out of 100 people is not exactly an uncommon occurrence when you are dealing with millions of people.

Top 12% in NOLA area. Not bad considering my wife can't work full time at her job while she's in school.

Yea, the numbers are actually a little higher than I would've expected (and way higher than I expected to see after reading the posts that the amounts seemed low).

There's sugar mill money still there. Schudmak's are ridiculously wealthy. I had to move elsewhere and marry well.
