1 Percent
I was just thinking about our overwhelming wealth, thanks to the site Global Rich List. Then I came across this post by Steven Nicholson, which talks further about wealth, using some currentUN data. It’s well worth the read.
According to the Global Rich List, those people making $47,500 USD per year are in the same top 1% of wealth in the world, as those making $1,000,000 per year. It doesn’t matter if I’m making 47 grand a year or 2 million a year. I’m still ridiculously rich. This should shatter all of our paradigms, and yet, somehow it doesn’t.
