I remember a TV news story 20+ years or so ago that a good skycap at a major airport was making well in excess of $100,000 per year. (And that was in 1990's dollars).
None of the skycaps in the story would give an exact amount, but they all smiled and nodded when they were asked if they were reporting all that cash as income.....
