For sure, many people can live big on $239k/year, but this number is likely 1/3 of what they were making several years ago.
We also have to keep in mind....those of us who are not self-employed, our companies pay for all of our business/office expenses. So, my company pays for my computer, and will replace it if it breaks. They also pay for my phone, training expenses, etc. For those of us who work in physical offices, the company pays for the desk and chair and all the expenses there. That money does not come out of our salaries. I make what I make, regardless of the price of my computer, phone, whatever. They pay out of pocket for everything business related out of that money, on top of their normal (and extravagant) household expenses. 239k is not a lot of money, especially if that is your shared business and personal income. It's also really not a lot of money when you think that that's for the two of them working "full time" and they're paying out whatever salary to whichever employees are working that week.
