Ha! Fat chance... That would mean that the rest of Montrealers earn next to nothing.

Montreal is essentially a struggling city. It does have a fair share of wealthy individuals but saying that it has more than 1,3 m high income earners is absurd. When I moved there (spent 15 years in that city), I was stunned by the overwhelming air of poverty. On the plus side it does have a good population of the very rich who decide to live/remain there as it is a fun city.
