Is it true that you have to have an annual income of $60,000 to obtain an AmEx plat??

I obtained one 15 years ago when I was an undergraduate in college. The requirements at the time were:
1. Cardmember for at least two years (any AmEx charge card product).
2. Charge at least $10K to the card in the prior 12 months.
Needless to say, as an undergraduate my income was nowhere near $60K

If you go to the card questionnaire and tell it you want travel benefits, you don't have an Amex card, you are 18-24 years old and your income is $10,000-$49,000, it pops up with the Platinum and Gold Rewards Plus, so I have to think the minimum income is $10,000. Tres exclusive.
Honestly, most of the Visa Signature and World MC cards are going to be harder to get from an income/credit rating perspective. Amex charge cards are relatively easy to obtain, as long as you haven't defaulted on an Amex card previously.
Citi platinum Amex required $50,000. Maybe that should be the REAL Platinum card.
