The term Top One Percent of global income may sound like an exclusive club, but it’s one to which millions of Americans belong.

An income of $32,400 a year (30,250 Euros or 2,000,000 Indian Rupees or 223,000 Chinese Yuan) will allow you to make it within Top One Percent of global income.

This is a reminder of just how prosperous developed countries are compared to the vast majority of other people who share our planet.

The percentage of global wealth owned by Top One Percent was on pace to surpass 50% by 2016.

The bar to enter Top One Percent wouldn’t be this low were it not for the extreme poverty that so much of the World endures.

To make it within Top One Percent Worldwide in Wealth, you would have to possess $770,000 (720,000 Euros or 49,800,000 Indian Rupees or 5,300,000 Chinese Yuan) in net worth.

Including everything from the equity in your home to the value of your investments.

Eight men own as much wealth as the 3.6 billion people who make up for the poorest in the World.
