Wealth distribution pyramid has $100,000 as limit to top 7.7%.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_of_wealth

So $90,000 could be the cutoff.

Of course students don't have that. However I would include anybody into the top 10% who will own $100,000 at one point in their life which should be anybody with real estate or a private pension plan in the West.
