Make 50K? You're in the Top 1%

We hear a lot of talk about the richest 1%.  When we look at this on the global level, however, it is not that unlikely that you have cracked that exclusive top 1% or close to it.  If you make  $47,000 a year or more - you're the top 1%.  It only takes $22,000 a year to make it to the top 10% globally.  Want to know where you stand?  Try the Global Rich List site to find out.

Now it is true that Americans have to be make about $380,000 a year to be in the top 1% here... but nearly 50% of all Americans fit in the 1% richest in the world category.
