State
The upper class holds substantial wealth rather than merely high income, and its position is typically sustained across generations by inheritance.

Position rests on assets that continue producing regardless of whether anyone works.
Watch for
Students often conflate high income with upper-class membership, but a high salary without transmissible wealth is not upper class.
