I remember very specifically that it was the average American.
Obviously, they don't pay it in just income tax, that's not what I mean. But also in property, luxury, payroll, sales, inheritance, gas, capital gains, etc. taxes.
And remember, this is every branch of government, state, federal, county, locality, etc. It all adds up.
Sounds like the mean.
Bill Gates abd Steve Ballmer went to the same HS.
That HS has a really high mean net worth for its graduates.
But if you're a graduate and not one of those 2 people, so what?
