Global Rich List

8 09 2008

Everyone in the US realizes that we’re rich, but it’s fun once in a while to take a look at the numbers.

For example:

  • Last year I qualified as the 817,000,000th richest person in the world, to be in the top 14% of the world, without having graduated highschool at that time.
  • To be in the top one (1) percentile, you must earn 47,500 dollars in a year.
  • The middle 50% made $850 dollars last year.
  • 9% of people, hundreds of millions, lived on less than a dollar a day.

You should definitely check out www.GlobalRichList.com and play around with the numbers yourself, even if your a college student.
