That's more than double the median HHI for San Francisco. What kind of question is this?

How? It’s so expensive there

Google what poor is in your city/state. If HHI is $250k, you're not poor.

There are some things that are hard to fake. Ski clubs, multiple houses with staff including drivers, cooks, boarding schools for kids, sailboats, friends in high places, being a high profile donor, etc. I’ve seen some personal documents, due to the nature of my role.

I make $77k, HHI is $77k 😞

There will always be people earning more, but that doesn’t mean they are happy. As long as you are happy where you are, that’s all that matters. Appreciate what you have and stop comparing yourself to others. We don’t know their circumstances, they may be broke, may have inherited wealth, may be working multiple jobs to support their life style, doing illegal activity, struggling in the inside, etc. We just don’t know!
