Do many people earn minimum wage (and not have tips etc to boost their income)?

What would the average wage be per year? And what would someone earn who is doing well (but not a movie star/CEO etc) earn?
Honestly, wages vary by region. People in the midwest don't make as much as people on the east coast or west coast, but the cost of living is less there. As far as what would someone earn that's well off? I have no idea - it's not me, I can tell you that. I'm not poor, but I live paycheck to paycheck, and constantly have to count my pennies.
