duran duran put it best

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twists across a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grand
Her name is Rio she don't need to understand
And I might find her if I'm looking like I can
Oh Rio, Rio hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

Well in sociology upper middle class families are made up of professional workers ie: doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc. My dad works at IBM and my mother is a social worker, who both bring in about $385,000, so we are UMC and in the top 1-2% of income in America. The next bracket, which is above us are usually the millionaires and those people you see in Forbes magazine with those CEO's who make an obscene amount of money. I mean, it is much easier to have a net worth of more than 1 million dollars these days, which my parents tell me they have but won't tell me exactly how much they have in assets.

Above middle class, but below upper class?  I'm not sure, but it seems self-explanatory.

They are wealth off.  Basically the professionals - doctors,lawyers, accountants, etc.  People that have accumulated wealth but not to the excessive levels of corporate CEOS, etc.  The upper middle class may have a net worth of a few million.  They are one of the few wealth classes that I can respect because most of them are hard working and have earned their salaries.  They generally are self employed or small time entreprenuers.
