The people who make plenty of money to support a comfortable lifestyle and don't have to worry as much about their jobs, economy, and other things that stress out the middle-class. Most people look up to the upper middle class because they tend to be the role model for what everyone in America wants to attain aka "The American Dream"...

People in society who make well above-average incomes that can afford a comfortable lifestyle. The upper-middle-class tend to be well educated and have a lot of work autonomy in whatever they do for a living. Most upper-middle-class tend to live in more upscale neighborhoods that are too expensive for their counterparts, the middle-class. Therefore, the middle-class and lower classes too, tend to look up to the upper-middle-class and follow in their footsteps.
Take a stroll through Whole Foods on a weekend, you're bound to see many people apart of the upper-middle-class.

The youth of Ocean City Maryland that travels annually to fuck up the city with their middle class charm. Usually from surrounding parts of the Baltimore metropolitan region that completely mind-fuck slightly more civilized youth from the D.C. Metro area. Everybody drives a truck, picks up girls high on ecstasy and everybody has a story to tell on the O.C. bus. This observation only leaves onlookers with these words on their minds, "that's some middle class shit"
Crack smoking adolescents, Confederate flag bearing teens, People not accustomed to seeing black people, Mild-racism. Middle Class Shit

The Upper Middle Class doesn't start at $60,000 household income. $60k per family is squarely middle class.
The upper middle class is better described as the professional or managerial class, and consists of mostly white collared professionals or successful small business owners. Typical professions in the upper middle class are biglaw lawyers, physicians, dentists, accountants, consultants, school principals, and engineers with managerial roles. Many have advanced degrees beyond college.
They tend to live in cities during their 20s, marry in their late 20s or early 30s, and move to wealthy suburbs with good school districts (education is highly valued) when the kids come. The political affiliations of the upper middle class vary greatly with age and region in the country.
Household incomes vary from $100k to $500k. Most upper middle class families still depend on salary and their day job to sustain their lifestyle.

In America, the poor thinks they are in the middle class and the middle class thinks they're in the upper-middle class, while the upper middle class thinks they're typical middle class Americans.
