I thought the rest of the world was catching up? Looks like I'm rich.

I know not many people percentage wise make 250,000 or more a year, but 107,565 in the whole world? I doubt it.

It breaks after a certain point and as far as I can tell will never, ever rank you higher than 107,565.

lies, they just want my money.

lies, they just want my money.

That's probably the case, but it's a terrible metric that doesn't take into account the cost of living.

That said, it's still probably the case that people making $30k in the US are far better off than the bulk of the undeveloped world.

I'm in the top 0.27% of the world. LOL, yeah right.

Well apparently you can not be richer than the 107,565 person in the world.

I tried

100,000,000
1,000,000,000
10,000,000,000
100,000,000,000
It wouldn't take one trillion.

and they all came back with the same ranking. Broken ranking list is broken.

Apparently only 16,509,852 people have an annual income.

edit: nvm, apparently when inputting small numbers it changes depending on what you entered earlier.

 

[gaidensensei]

The population of the USA represents ~4% of the entire world.
I figure it's using a calculation from something like that.

But I'm also thinking it isn't accounting for cost of living differences.

Sounds like a scam to guilt you into donating money to the 3rd world.

 

[Matthiasa]

It said I was the richest in the world when I put 0 and 1 in.

 

[montypythizzle]

$30 could buy you an ER DVD Boxset OR a First Aid kit for a village in Haiti.

Neither.

It said I was the richest in the world when I put 0 and 1 in.

I noticed that too

 

[dank69]

A similar 'study' that had very similar result ran off the assumptions of 6B people in the world and an average world income of $5K/yr.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

It breaks at $450 on the low end and $200,001 on the high.

 

[AndroidVageta]

Scam! No matter what amount you put in over 1000000 its all the same results. I hate bullshit like this...$8 buys you 15 organic apples...Goddamn right it does, and oh how sweet they are!

Neither.
