To crack New York's wealthiest 1 percent, a resident would have to clear $506,000 annually, one of the highest figures in the nation, Vox reported.
In addition, the Empire State also has the largest income disparity, with the top 1 percent earning 48.4 times the average salary of a run-of-the-mill 99 percenter.
The easiest state to crack the cultural elite? Arkansas, where $228,000 per year grants admission into the top 1 percent.
