I'm a 1%'er.

Well, this puts things in perspective.

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

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

Interesting.  Still not donating to Care.

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 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.

[Shiranu]

When I was working,  I was in the 15% range.

[AllPurposeAtheist]

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.

I don't buy this.

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.

Which is why I'm considering retiring to Thailand!

This. :P

[PopeyesPappy]

I can't afford one serving girl.

You could if you bought her in Thailand, smuggled her into the states.

[stromboli]

I was thinking about the Philippines, and then..........

I would wait until the protests stop.
