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!

We can't wait for all the interviews to come in 2026, and thank you for tuning in throughout the past year! 💚
