Wow, that's pretty cool. Really puts things in perspective. I guess though to be accurate you'd have to take household income and divide by number of members of the household. I'm guessing they include unemployed people, children, etc.. in the list? |

Quote: Did You Know:
The world's 225 richest people now have a combined wealth of $1 trillion. That's equal to the combined annual income of the world's 2.5 billion poorest people |

Awesome. It tells you how "rich" you are and then makes you feel guilty for your seemingly unnecessary purchases and then asks for money. Fun with guilt trips. |

But it is interesting from a perspective standpoint. Here's their official reasoning. Quote: WHY ARE WE DOING IT?
We are obsessed with wealth. But we gauge how rich we are by looking upwards at those who have more than us. This makes us feel poor. We wanted to do something which would help people understand, in real terms, where they stand globally. And make us realise that in fact most of us (who are able to view this web page) are in the privileged minority. We want people to feel rich. And give some of their extra money to a worthwhile charity. |

Top 0.001% (107,565), which kind of invalidates the whole thing. There are more than 108,000 people in the United States making in excess of $250,000 a year. |

Just like if you put in anything from 0 to maybe 10, you are the poorest person in the world. There's more than one person in the world who has no income, and if you make 1 dollar, you make more than that guy. Also doesn't take into account alternate forms of income besides cash money (although it probably expects you to do that). Still, close enough to have the desired effect on most of the site's American lower to middle class visitors. I don't necessarily agree with the guilt angle, but certainly serves as a shock and might get people to donate who otherwise don't. |

Yeah, I'm not the 8,552,266 (0.14%) richest person in the world. Maybe if I'd never spent any of my income, and invested wisely... Sorry, but going from $200,000 to $200,001 shouldn't take you from 786,570 to 107,565 richest. lol |

No debt taken into consideration? Cause from where I'm sitting right now that matters far more than if I'm working at McDonalds or not. Though at this rate I'll end up there anyway. Life is awesome. At least the website will make me feel better! Likely soon to be back in school getting some degree I likely won't care about in order to sneak into a student job at the library for at least some experience. Tack on another 5-digit chunk of debt. Ah well, it could very well end up worth it. I just hope you doomsayers are wrong about the economy. :p If I get enough degrees, someone has to hire me, right?! |

There is no way on earth that's accurate. It tells me I'm the 107,565th richest person in the world. That is clearly total tosh. edit: Wow Khross, you too huh? ;-p |
