Income chart leaders
Top earners are people who make the most money within a given context—the highest-paid employees at a company, the wealthiest households in a tax bracket, or the most financially successful in a profession.
The term appears frequently in discussions of income inequality and tax policy: The top earners pay a disproportionate share of federal taxes.
