Well, this puts things in perspective.

QuoteYou're in the top 0.59% richest people in the world by income.

QuoteYour monthly income could pay the monthly salaries of 172 doctors in Azerbaijan.

we are in the top 0.06%. That is kind of freaky considering we are in the middle/working class.

While interesting I am more than just a little skeptical of their numbers. For example if you plug in $100,000 US their calculator returns these figures.

You're in the top 0.08% richest people in the world by income.

That makes you the 5,067,405th richest person on earth by income.

However according to this Wiki link (//http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_income_in_the_United_States#Income_distribution) 6.6% of the 244,000,000 individual income earners in the US earn $100,000 or more annually. That's 16,104,000 people in the US alone that earn $100,000 or more per year. That is more than 3 times their claimed number of people earning that kind of money in the entire world.

Puts me in the top 1%, but I agree with Pappy. I question the accuracy of it.

With 189 a month of foodstamps I kinda doubt I'm in the top 1% and sorry Azerbaijan.. I can't pay your doctors salary, but stop by the Y and I'll give ya ½ a ramen noodle.

My skepticism sense is tingling. Also, one must consider the buying power that person earns in their location. In Thailand, I would have a mansion with a dozen serving girls. In the States, I have a modest house and I can't afford one serving girl.
