| Got lucky in tech, combined with being in a really in-demand specialty. The startup I work for was acquihired, and my comp is 7 figures/yr for the next 4 years. |

Got lucky in tech x2.
I clear about 1.5M per year now. Won’t last forever but the payout train will continue for a while. |

| I don't think that many people have a 7-figure salary. The 7-figures usually comes from bonuses/options or profits if you own a company. There are exceptions of course. |

Startups don't usually pat one million in salary. But you can definitely make several millions of the company takes off. |
