How Rich Are You?


I came across this.

It says that I am RICH. 
I am the 617,928,589 richest person in the world.  
But what’s crazy about this is that I have a salary of about 24,000 a year
and yet I fall into the Top 10% of the world’s wealthiest people.  
THE WORLD’S.
Puts things into perspective doesn't it?
That means that 90% of the world is poorer than I am.
It means that's 90 out of every 100 make less than 24,000 a year.

I plugged in a few numbers...
At a $15,000 salary: Top 12.23%
At a $10,000 salary: Top 13.31%
At a $5,000 salary: Top 14.39%
At a $2,500 salary: Top 14.93%
At a $1,500 salary: Top 24.8%
At a $1,000 salary: Top 44.1%
At a $500 salary: Top 80%

The numbers just drop off from there...

Think about this, 60% of the worlds population makes less than 1,000 a year! 
I'm feeling thankful. How about you?


I'm loaded.
It's official.
I'm the 617,928,589 richest person on earth!
