There is no definitive public data on the number of Silicon Valley couples earning over $800,000 annually, as this specific income bracket is not typically broken down in census or economic reports
. However, by combining household income data with regional wealth concentration estimates, it is possible to make a reasonable estimate. Factors influencing the estimate
- Income concentration: In 2024, the top 1% of Silicon Valley households—approximately 9,000 households—held 42% of the region's collective wealth. The income threshold to join this top 1% in California in 2023 was over $800,000 in certain areas.
- Wealth vs. income: While annual income figures are a good indicator, they don't capture the full picture of extreme wealth. Liquid wealth data shows that in 2024, the top 10% of households (89,301 homes) controlled 71% of the region's wealth, while the bottom 50% held just 1%. Income for the ultra-wealthy can fluctuate significantly based on investments and assets, not just salary.
- Income growth: Historically, income growth in Silicon Valley has been "top-heavy," with most gains benefiting the wealthiest households. This has created a wider income gap between the highest and lowest earners compared to the national average.
Estimated number of couples
An accurate number for couples with an income over $800,000 per year cannot be determined from public information. Still, based on the high concentration of wealth and high median salaries in Silicon Valley, it's safe to assume a substantial number of households surpass that earnings mark, primarily within the top 1% of the region's earners.
