#4x average one bedroom isn't much if you have to pay for a 3 bedroom

I mean the problem with all those "what is rich" polls is that money is so WILDLY location dependent. $100,000US will buy you a house in Waukesha Wisconsin, and the bathroom of a studio apartment in San Francisco. $4US will buy you a good lunch in Greece and a potato chip in Iceland. The more useful measurement is probably something like "pounds of grapes" or "units of one-bedroom apartment": a single person who is paid 4x the average rent of a one-bedroom is going to have a much easier time than someone who is being paid 2x, but they're still not rich.
