r/spitzenverdiener rules, stats, and what to post

This is a German language community for high earners. The description sets a clear bar, you should earn at least 120.000€ gross per year or sit in the top one percent of taxpayers. People here discuss life, their money, and what the description calls luxury problems. The community also says outright that if this is not your league, there are sister communities for lower and average earners. The first rule adds an important detail, this is a place where high earners ask questions of other high earners, not a place for people starting out to collect career advice.

Three rules decide everything here. Rule “Keine low-effort oder Einsteiger Berufsberatung” removes basic or beginner career advice, because the sub is meant for questions from high earners to high earners, though posts about special positions or situations can still fit. Rule “Kein Agenda Pushing” bans pushing an agenda, especially a political one, but opinion pieces with actual reasoning are allowed, so a statement without argument gets thrown out. Rule “Umfragen & werbliche Postings” is the one that touches marketing most directly, because surveys, research requests, and anything that could look promotional need a short modmail or private message to the moderators first, and pure advertising is completely banned.

If you are a founder who genuinely earns at the level this community describes, you can join the conversation about money, career decisions at a high level, and the strange problems that come with higher income. Share real experience with real reasoning behind it, because this room rewards argued opinions over hot takes. If you want to run a survey, do research, or post anything that could read as promotional, write a short modmail or private message first and wait for an answer. And if your product happens to serve high earners, the honest path is to participate as a member first and let any business topic come up naturally or through approved channels.

Three things get you removed here. First, beginner or low effort career questions, because the community says it exists for high earners talking to high earners. Second, agenda pushing, especially political statements that fire off takes without giving reasons or arguments. Third, anything promotional, because pure advertising is completely banned, and even softer promotional posts, surveys, and research requests need moderator approval through a modmail or private message before you post them.

What stands out to me is that this community wrote its front door in the description itself, pointing people below the income bar to two other subreddits, so the filter starts before the rules even begin. I also like that rule “Kein Agenda Pushing” does not ban politics, it just demands that you argue your point, which tells me this room rewards thinking over shouting. The modmail requirement for surveys is strict but fair, and honestly it is the friendliest door a marketer could ask for. My honest read of the evidence is that a founder who respects that door can learn a lot here, and one who skips it will burn the room in a single post.
