one-percenter
Top income bracket
A one-percenter belongs to the wealthiest one percent of a population, typically used critically to highlight economic inequality: The tax cuts mostly benefit one-percenters.
The term gained prominence during the Occupy Wall Street movement.
In motorcycle culture, a one-percenter is a member of an outlaw biker gang—from the claim that 99% of motorcyclists are law-abiding.
