Yearly Pay Is Close To A “millon Dollars?”

Oh sorry.. I was kinds zoned out.. i thought 1MIL/ month

There are jobs which pay 100,000 a month in IT, mostly in management side.. Yes also special surgeons, banking and law...

 

If its contracting... will the tax slay so much?.. I don't know how it works in the US but here the contractors pay only around 25% tax running their own company with 1 employee.

 

I worked for top product company my Sr dir got around 500-600 k as pay. He was only 38 with a ivy engg + ivy management degree.
Really brilliant man , no drama, no politics.
Yes if working for top bank and FANG it's possible.

PS : @anika987 your my go to person for reference for job search. You got many top range people in Bay area (deivame)

 

Yeah you can hire a helicopter to sprinkle flowers on Ganesh ji or hire a private jet to go on a holiday.. or hire a high end photographer to make a calendar session with a hired designer to design gowns...I have known families who did the last two..kinda remote friends...

 

Making lots of money at 37 is a good thing. The figure quoted is entirely possible. However, wives should not go around distributing information on things that other people do not need to know. Now the information is all over the internet. Someone jealous might start a rumor that Mrs.Richfella is only biding her time for the right set of circumstances to keep the money and get rid of the toiling slug.

If someone is not working at any job that requires periodical performance appraisals, is healthy, and has a comfortable income -- that is the life one should hope for. Our OP already has achieved all that.

 

A lot of people in this age group have made that kind of money, especially being in start ups that made it big or working at FAANG, where they might throw stocks at people they want to retain like nobody's business.

Not surprising at all that someone makes that kind of money. Yes, it is kind of strange that she would come and share that information with you!!

 

What you mentioned is a recent trend in healthcare-here, where the physician is ahis/her own company and is contracting with the hospital.
But I would like to think that for a long term stable (upward mobile) physician will like to be an employee instead of contractor.

 

I think, the happiness in life comes from sense of purpose in life. If someone is wife of such rich husband, does she have a strong purpose in life. If not she might wilt away. Not every women is Melinda Gates. It is a curse to be a wife to such rich guy, imho. Look at divorced MacKenzie Bezos. She wasted her youth building his company, his life, his children, his ego, must have hosted ILs too for thanksgiving. Now, where is she? Rich ya, but he got the cake.

I have been very lucky to have some very wise friends over the years. One such friend had known this long back- the happiness comes when the wife keeps on moving her limbs doing her daily stuff and while having a purpose in life. If she has food, clothes, some spare money and love of husband and family- then she is blessed, she needs no more money
