How fun: We can now compare data about New York’s 1 percenters (as in income, in case you need reminding) against that trove of information in this year’s Am Law 100 rankings. If you’re nosy about where you and your friends stand, let the contest begin!
As you might have guessed, it doesn’t take much to be a 1 percenter if you’re a Big Law partner or investment banker in this town. According to Crain’s, $600,000 is the magic number you need to hit to join this tony club in New York (you only need $400,000 to qualify nationally). Crain’s says that 35,432 New York residents belong to this elite group; for the honor, members get to bear the burden of paying about half of all the income taxes collected in the state and city.
