As for Doctors, from idealmedhealth.com/best-salary-of-doctors-in-singapore/ :



So, that is 675 listed companies, which being listed, means that they are typically of reasonable size. Granted that there are large companies and foreign companies that are listed elsewhere or privately owned, I think it should give a sensing of what are the realistic salary ranges of top earners in Singapore.

Also, noted that these are probably the top 1000 or so earners in Singapore and not just the top 10% of income tax payers in Singapore.

There are definitely people who earns more than $200K per annum or even $5M. It's just how many of them exists in Singapore, and how many of them are actually around in this forum.
Doctors don't make so little, especially those in private practice. Your data also miss a whole lot of high earners in the financial sector.

Government data don't lie. Go to Iras and dig out the YA2021 numbers:

There were 6,527 resident taxpayers making more than $1M in assessable income, Mdm Halimah one of them.

And there were 21,858 making between $500K and $1M.

Your "probably" top 1000 is definitely way off the mark.
