high earners
Big salary people
High earners are people who make substantially more money than average, typically placing them in the top income brackets.
The term appears frequently in discussions of taxation, economic policy, and wealth inequality: Tax increases on high earners could fund infrastructure spending.
The threshold varies by context—what counts as high-earning differs between cities, countries, and policy debates.
