No, I meant at the 80th percentile, how many returns show $100k or less?

I guess it's based on ~135M returns.

So at the 99th, there's 1.35M with $368k or more? That's a lot more than I would have thought.

Maybe they should start calling themselves the 96%'ers ... seems like 1% isn't a big enough target!
