Now have the 33 million make an even $1 million. That's $33 million. That's 10% of the population making over 50% of the income. Altogether, that's $30.7 million income across 330 million people. Or about $190k per year. Can you revisit this

My bad. When I wrote the second number, I just added 1 to 29.7. Should be 62.7

Other than that, it should come out to about $190k
