What I believe it's always related to software security related jobs, like IT security manager because the data and information that they are protecting costs the company that they are working with but there's already a study and list made for this.

Really rich people don't get salaries, they just take profits from their investments. If you are referring to employees, then the top ones make their money from stock options and other benefits.

I mean only from their paid jobs,not from any kind of investments.

If you work for big tech companies, you should receive a huge salary. But the people getting the highest salaries should be the investors.

I though that people with the highest salary may not even recognized. So they're not on the list.
Or maybe I watched too much movies.

People with highest earning may not be noticed but salaried person can't hide themselves because their company will report the salary and even the final takeaway for month is less from their actual salary due to tax being paid at salary issuance.

I want to clarify: salary or income. And where is that line?

 Air traffic controllers.  Very well paid but high stress job.

Income : Any kind of earnings which maybe from your business,investment,assets

Salary: You are getting paid for some work,we call it as job.

Maybe in average,air traffic controller jobs could be one of heavily paid job but when we talk about individuals they didn't get a spot.

many certainly think that Google CEO or Apple CEO is the one who has the highest salary in the world,
but in fact, this man is the highest-paid man in the world Hock E Tan

  Guys, OP isn't interested in people heading up companies.  I'm pretty sure he's interested in hourly paid workers.
