How much money do you need to make to be "rich"?  Or, rather, how much money do you need for people to THINK you're rich? We want to one day be able to fill a giant bath tub up with money and jump into it daily

A new study asked people what salary someone would have to earn to be rich.  And for the majority, the answer is . . . about $90,000 to $100,000.

Here are a few more results from the survey . . .

1.  The majority of people believe that being "poor" means you make less than $30,000-a-year.

2.  2% of people think you're rich if you're making $10,000-a-year.

3.  And finally, 2% of people think you're "poor" even at $100,000-a-year.
