We spent the year asking strangers the question no one ever wants to answer: “How much do you make?”
Today, we’re looking back at the highest salaries and earnings we uncovered in 2025, ranked from lowest to highest.
These interviews span every corner of the workforce: trade workers, medical professionals, tech talent, entrepreneurs, and even elected officials.
If you’re curious where the real money is being made in America right now, buckle up. The results surprised even us!

It's almost 2026! As we reflect on the past year, we wanted to share our favorite interviews from 2025.
From interviewing Senators on Capitol Hill to buskers and union laborers in Seattle, we met a wide range of personalities and professionals. At the end of the day, these interviews have proven to us the value of transparency and that many of us can make a difference!

Last week, hackers took over our official Facebook page, so we're sharing how it happened, and our lessons learned so you can protect yourself.
UPDATE 8/26 We have gained back access to our Facebook page! Here's what we did and what we recommend:
- Reach out to any contact you have at Meta. We had an official representative at Meta with our verified account, so we reached out immediately to them and explained the situation.
- If you're not verified, apply or sign up for Meta Verified (it will help you get more immediate support)
- File a Help Desk or Customer Care report
- Change all your passwords, and make sure you have your backup codes saved
