Still, food for thought.

Top 0.923%, but I'm always broke.

Try typing in $100 as annual income. They'll still ask you to donate $0.06.
 
Geez, I'm in the top 10% of the richest people in the world. Makes you think, doesn't it?

You probably forgot to add the $100.000 worth of believing in a cause. That's supposed to enrich people's lives ;)
 
Right, you lots are much richer than me! please send your donations by cash or bank guarenteed cheque!

thanks.
 
You are in the top 0.48% richest people in the world.
There are 5,971,172,435 people poorer than you.

Neat calculator. I'd be interested in one that compared you to America, though.
 
You are in the top 11.13% richest people in the world.
There are 5,332,030,848 people poorer than you.
dammit, now I know why I dont get chicks:(
 
Interesting note: Californians that earn minimum wage and work full-time are just shy of the top 10%. It really makes it apparent just how prosperous we are.

You are in the top 0.975% richest people in the world.
There are 5,941,447,235 people poorer than you.

And my wife and I barely keep the bills paid. Sad.
 
Of course, when I take taxes out and enter my annual net pay, I drop waaay down on the scale. Nice. So, annual income isn't all that matters. I'm getting the [poopie] taxed outta me! :(

Yeah me too.

Consider this though.

America only makes up 4% of the earth's population, so just being an American virtually puts you in the top 10% no matter what. Even the poorest of poor Americnas is going to be pretty high on the list. So if you are in the top 10% of Americans thats going to put you well within the top 0.5% of the world.

I think that $48,000 is the 50% mark in America, but I'm not positive on that. I know that bottom of the top 1% of Americans starts at about $300,000 a year income.
 
It's impolite to blabber one's personal income in friendly conversation, but rest assured that I'm relatively well off according to that site. You can just guess.

Casually mentioning my considerable (if not vast) assets is not, however, regarded as gauche among my better-than-you, New Yorker-reading, Manhattanite peers. So I can talk about how I got into *my own* car a few hours ago (yes, it's owned by me exclusively and not shared by some dirty village). Or how I had probably eaten too much yesterday. Or the multiple phone calls sent and received in the last week.

There's no need to feel ashamed for having so much. I earned it, obviously, and I'll be damned if some do-gooder tries to make me feel guilty for Abebe, a six-year old Ethiopian who has never worn clean clothes or traveled beyond the dump loosely known as his home.

An open letter to Abebe (I don't know his last name).

Listen up, Abebe, because I'm going to give you something far more valuable than "78 cents a day." It's a lesson that consists of two simple elements: Hard work and personal responsibility. That's it. You think it was easy being born into a rich country? You just try. Oh wait, you did try and failed miserably. Perhaps you deserve a miserable fate. Or I dunno, maybe God chose me. Why did you have to piss off God, Abebe? Whatever the case, it's all your own fault and don't for a second to transfer blame on to others for your own mistakes. Besides, you have no idea the crap us rich people have to tolerate on a daily basis. Other rich people, though not quite as rich, get really jealous. *Really* jealous. Then the ususal demogogues incite class warfare and I'm liable to get distracted from the Monday night's game. Don't get me wrong, I'm elated that I don't have to physically push away your money grubbing hands (which are probably in dire need of a manicure), but dealing with the prying paws of govmit' is chore of unfathomable-proportions. I could continue on blah blah blah, but who are we kidding? You'll probably be dead in two years anyway. Trust me, I don't want that to happen (and I'm glad I won't see it happen). Seeing an actual person actually die could really spoil my evening. The only reason why I took a break from the "Friends" marathon on TBS (that Chandler cracks me up every time! Plus Rachel is smokin' hot!) was to help you escape poverty. I'm a giver. Remember the formula for success: hard work plus personal responsibility = unlimited riches.

Your unconscionably wealthy friend,

LOL, do I knwo how ot call it or what! Actually this is pretty sad, but still.

From this post:

http://www.randi.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26697

So, the majority of Americans really don't understand how the country has become rich in the first place, this applies even to many rich people in America. If you ask an average American how this country has become rich they will say something like from hard work and God.

So, because Americans don't understand this many Americans think that people in 3rd world countries are poor because they are lazy or because they are not good Christians. This is crazy of course, but you will find this to be a popular idea in America.

Okay, so why are we rich here in America? Did we steal it all from someone?
