So obviously by the name you are using and by lack of intelligence that you are displaying, you are 13 years old BOB and you have a IQ of 12, some day when you grow up you will realize that there is more to life, then just being a dumb ass and don’t mind this virus that I’m sending you, it won’t hurt for long…;P

Over 200,000 a year : 1
That's 16K USD/month minimum - 2 months and you can buy a decent car with downpayment (even accounting for tax cuts).

Well I am quite sure that anyone in the 200k category is an owner or part owner of a company that is now doing quite well. Basically its the risk vs reward equation; some people are willing (or have the opportunity) to work an extreme number of hours for very little money in order to attempt to build a business, hoping that years down the road they will make greater than 200k per year. Their chance of actually making it to above industry average wages? Well from what info I can find its less than 15%. Most people who attempt end up just a single person consultant (which is not necessarily bad either).

But then would it count as a salary? Ife he/she owns the company, while he/she might have an official salary, that's a rather superficial thing really, is it not?

Well if one is running the company properly (in my opinion) then even the owner(s) needs to take a proper salary. If the owner takes all of the profit out of the company it leaves nothing for growth, dips in sales, and rewarding those who helped you get to where you are. In other words it leads to a 'death spiral'. This is one of the reasons many people do not succeed ... they take out too much money too soon, and the company goes under (in otherwords the initial success leads to greed which leads to downfall). Now sure most owners do take bonuses on top of the salary usually in the form of profit sharing, but this amount needs to be reasonable as well.

Stock option grants go a long way to making folks rich too (as well as hiding the real cost of doing so from investors). Maybe the $200K folks are adding it all in to reward their egos.
A person willing to check their ethics and morality at the key-card reader can quite easily make it into that camp. There is a lot of room in the US economy for charlatans and schemers. A willingness to abuse others in the name of "capitalism" is a quick-pass to financial success. This assumes the person holds the requisite smarts, etiquette and situational awareness (i.e the ability to lie well and smile).
All this should make us appreciate Google that much more. They've made themselves absurdly rich without resorting to the scummy tactics employed by their predecessors and peers.

Can you really make a living (perhaps even with a family) from $20K (gross amount, i think)?
In Germany, you need about double that money to arrive in the middle class.
With a bachelor style of living you can make it with less, but not as a familiy man.
"We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganised. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganising: and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress, while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralisation."
