The top 1% who are they?

Due to the current events of occupy wall-street have been having a discussion with my boss on who exactly the 1% is. They think anyone who makes over a million a year is the top 1% while I believe most of the 1% is head CEO's to giant corporations. If someone could please let me know what it is that classifies someone to be in the top 1%? TY

    Actors, celebrities, CEOs, and a few others.

    The highest paid CEO makes $84M a year, the majority of the top 5 are under $50M. Will Smith makes $100M a year and he's just one of many. All are on Forbes.

    Top 1% income earners. They could hold any position or not be employed at all.
