You mean.... that you can predict one's income by where they fall on the "Roach Motel Apartment" to "3x McMansions and 2x condos in NYC" spectrum?

Cuz I find it surprising. Most of the millionaires/billionaires club don't actually post a real income. They have investments, and take loans against those investments. (or the growth in value there of.)
