high earner

Well-paid professional

A high earner is someone whose income places them well above average—typically in the top tier of wage earners.

The threshold varies by context: tax policy might define high earners as those making over a certain amount annually, while casual use is more relative: She's a high earner for someone her age.

The term often appears in discussions of taxation, inequality, and financial planning.
