nsane.forums Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Are you in the top 1%? You'd be surprised. "Global Rich List" has relaunched, allowing you to compare your wealth with the rest of us here on earth. The term "1 percent" is thrown around an awful lot nowadays, usually referring to a minority of fat-cat greedy bankers in big leather chairs snarling at the insignificance of the other 99 percent. It may surprise you to know, however, if you're part of a family of five living just above the U.S. poverty line, you're in the 1 percent worldwide.It's a staggering statistic, for sure, and now you can visualize it with the relaunched Global Rich List:Didn't make it onto the yearly roll call of the mega-wealthy? Now's your chance to find out where you actually sit in comparison to the rest of the world.On the site you can choose between "Income" or "Wealth" to compare yourself with others in the world. The site suggests your net worth (wealth) is the most accurate measure, as naturally income can fluctuate because of tax changes or other reasons. Your wealth is then compared with workers in Ghana, Zimbabwe and other third world countries – and if only to make you feel even worse, you're told how many doctors could be employed instead of you existing – refreshingly morbid.The site has been redesigned by Poke London, who have worked on a number of high-profile projects recently, including a campaign for fashion brand Diesel and a total redesign of Skype's website.View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calguyhunk Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Now that's just wrong :eek: And here I was, thinking that I was 'middle class' just because my Mom can't afford the Honda City? :P And I can't get a replacement phone after almost 3 years? :o (Not the type I'd want anyways :P )Just goes to show how pampered we are and how little we know and care 'bout the unfortunate millions. Hopefully, this will keep me grounded for some time to come. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesiPirate Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 74.93% 5,011,155,936th (Annual income INR 32*365=11680 for urban poor in india)In 1 hour you make ₹6.08. Meanwhile, the average labourer in Indonesia makes just ₹8.66 in the same timeYou earn ₹11680 in 1 year. It would take the average labourer in Indonesia 0 years to earn the same amount.Thirsty? It’ll only take you 3 hours to earn enough for a refreshing can of cola. If the average labourer in Indonesia fancies one, they’ll have to work for around 2 hours for it.Your monthly income could pay the monthly salaries of 3 doctors in Malawi.( :eek: ) :wtf:An interesting article- http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/columns/Harsh_Mander/barefoot-the-other-side-of-life/article2882340.ece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanon Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Just goes to show that universally measured income doesn't equate to the same scale of life standard. After all, I would say that food is as cheap as it can be priced in poorer countries.An excellent read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes you the1,431,033,328thrichest person on earth.I wonder how accurate this is.. but this is really really really sad because even i struggle month to month to pay bills and everything. It's gotta be rough for those who don't have homes or can only afford for food and shelter. But this should be enough to say there is definitely something wrong with the world today.

DesiPirate Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I wonder how accurate this is..This is not accurate. just try to put very low amount in annual salary and it still says that your monthly income could pay the monthly salaries of 1 doctors in indonesia or pakistan.

I guess since they assume you can have access to a computer/internet you have access to extra money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calguyhunk Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 lol it won't let you put anything under $300. I guess since they assume you can have access to a computer/internet you have access to extra money.300 dollars of total wealth you mean or is it annual income? :dunno:In any case, you're right. But it's not 'bout "extra money" unlike the way you put it :(The thing is, if you're literate and can read and write in your native language and have access to a computer, I'd like to believe that you earn more than that yearly ANYWHERE on the planet. Otherwise, you prolly live on the streets under the bridges, overpasses and flyovers anyways. :(And in that case, Gina Rinehart might just want to castrate you LMFAO :lmao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
