You need to find companies who pay enough. 99% of recruiters, jobs on LinkedIn are not paying enough, you need to network, find job opportunities through friends. Use your references from previous jobs. Join tech communities and make friends / show your technical prowess. Most of the jobs I accepted in my career were via word of mouth and with ex coworkers inside the company to put a good word.
I'm living in Europe, working for a European company and pulling 200k$ in base salary with no equity (as a contractor in a different country, treated like an employee, but no sick pay or paid holidays) + some other online businesses netting some variable amounts.
I live in a low cost and low tax location - so I can pocket roughly 85% of the profits.
One way that really helped me to negotiate higher salary is to have recurring revenue on the side which could support my lifestyle. I'm transparent about that with employers and they know I'm running some side businesses.
Given you're already making a significant amount of money I would focus on optimising taxes / location and then focusing on creating other passive / semi passive revenue streams.
