Filthy Stinking Rich

I haven't posted here in a long, long time. And I was reading through the religion post (namely the last few pages), and I just wanted to share this. It might help some people put things in perspective.

Dang.  That's eye-opening.  Thanks for sharing, HL.

**** that was an eye opener!

Wow - talk about putting things in perspective!

Go Reggie, it's your birthday!

it was an eye-opener until i entered in an annual income of zero dollars and was told I was in the top 13 percent lol

It didn't tell me anything. Just left everything blank.

From the website: http://www.globalrichlist.com/how.html

I'm the 5,571,428,572 richest person on earth!

No worries, I'll have my empire running in a jiffy once I get ahold of some starting capital.

Not an eye opener but still good to be reminded every now and then. Thanks for sharing :)

Weird.  I tried that and it had me at the bottom of the scale (tied as poorest on earth).  I entered a bunch of different incomes, and it was interesting how fast you climbed up the scale - even making as little as $10,000/year.  I doubt it factors in cost of living though.  $10,000/year in US is not the same as in UK and certainly not the same as in Somalia or Nicaragua.

Wow!  I'm the 277,391,305 richest person in the world and I'm in the TOP 4.62% richest people in the world!  Who knew?
