How much does the highest paid person you know earn.....

[PowerRangerGoGo]

A friend if mine earns 700k per year
She works in investment

Base salary of 400k rest is commission

The only people I know exact salaries for are me, DH, and the people who report to me!

The fact, however, that my bosses FiL flys by private jet makes me think he probably has the highest income - and it's all passive.

I know quite a lot of high earning people as my dcs go to a London prep school, but I have literally no ball park idea of any figures. I know that some people in those professions can earn more than a million a year, but once it gets that high you can't really guess from their spending.

I’ve just googled his net worth and it says £800m
I’ve known this person since he was poor, lol

An artist - £800,000ish a year. There others I know who are multi millionaires.

Correct.

Probably £70k. Most of our friends work in the public sector though. I know a couple of people in service manager type roles. We're in our 50s so it ain't getting better.

Yep, I know one of those through our dc. Have known him for a good 15 years. He got more arrogant with each promotion.

How on earth would I know, I haven’t done a survey, bit bizarre.

Close same-age friends (I'm mid 30s), about 400k. We're all in professional roles in London. My uncle, tens of millions, an entrepreneur of several successful finance companies.

Vaguely know, in terms of bosses in my industry I speak to, probably highest is £3m a year.

Around £5m per year. 3 years ago, his wife and child both died. He would swap his wealth to have them back.

I have no idea but they only work Six months of the year in a British overseas territory, most of the rest of the year is spent at their house in the US and several weeks they are back here in the huge home they own here. They have no loans or mortgages. They own several cars and employ a driver. They are a lovely person, and if you didn't know they were wealthy, you wouldn't guess.

I have no idea, because I think everyone I know would agree that it's very vulgar to discuss one's salary!

Most don’t discuss it, you can just tell from the lifestyle like multiple holiday homes

Family members current contract is 40 million for four years.

So why not hire 2-3 people on half the salary working less hours? Seems mad to have such indispensable people working mad hours, the risk of burnout / them leaving to a competitor when companies could spread the workload… no one needs such high salaries. but then I guess it’s a self perpetuating issue isn’t it

£3 million salary plus performance bonuses. Profession sportsperson, early 20's.

My BIL who is on around £1m, then my DH who is on £130k. I have no idea how much anyone else earns.

Don’t know the exact figure but easily several million per year. They are a big hitter in the tv and film industry.
