To "Financial Planner" above - this is supposed to be a professional forum, not a place to have a petty dialogue and especially not to personally insult someone, i.e. "Edward Jones", who is not only a fellow professional but someone who made a valid point. The question posed was simply what car do we drive and what percentage of our annual income does that represent? Since a Tesla costs over $100K, at 1% that would indeed infer that your annual income is over $10M. Even if you misread the question and were responding on a lease situation, leasing at say $1500 per month, at 1% you would be saying you're (not 'your' as you posted, let alone the other grammatical and spelling errors in your post) making at least $1.8M per year.

Actually, I meant Barron’s top 100... not Forbes. Also, I’ve never understood why other firms try to shit all over Jones? I’ve never once had a client come to me from another firm, where I wasn’t able to move everything in kind, so if other firms are so much more outstanding, then why can I do everything you can do?

The entire cost of the Tesla equals 1% of your income? That’s a bit of a stretch.... I doubt you make $10 Million a year.
