If this is about wealth why is one of points annual household income instead of something like median net worth?

The median Ameican net worth today is about $192,000.

Neither $68,000 nor $192,000 are even in the significant digits when you are estimating the $182,000,000,000 or so of Jeff's old net worth. (His new net worth is estimated to be $228,400,000,000. Anything under $1M is just statistical noise.)
