I'd be surprised if you even scrape into the top 200,000,000 now.

But then, that put me in the top 2.7% of rich people. Mostly due to the millions in the third world who earn NOTHING.
Sobering thought and a good site to raise awareness via the medium of interesting.

If you earn the average (mean) U.K. salary of ~£24K you fit in the top 2%.
£1,000 a year gets you inside the top 20%, and ahead of 4.8 billion others.
Obviously it's impossible to adjust for the cost of living in different places, but it's pretty crazy nonetheless.

top 0.74% of the world! Then again, the people above me earn about eighty digits a year...

28,399,831 and 0.47.. nice little tool, but I agree the exchange rates are bork. They could have linked it to XE or something.
