Global Rich List

This is pretty fascinating - enter your income and wealth and it shows you how you compare to the rest of the world. If you feel your financial situation is lacking, this should be a great reminder of how much we really have.

Are you sure you did that right, James? I played with the numbers and 16% is an income of only about $10,000/year. I'm guessing you make more than that.

Using my anticipated 2017 income, I'm in the top 0.05%.

Yep, I added it based on wealth, factored out the value of my business, and gave conservative estimates of the value of my other assets, so yes, those figures are mostly accurate for me.

I mean, the math behind the calculator is probably pretty simple, it is likely just a rank order comparison of income and net worth.

Sorry. I went off income.

Based on wealth, I got 0.75% but I just took a wild guess at value of belongings.
