I think the site really puts things into persepective. Especially for those who feel poor because they make $20,000 a year, you still in the top 8%!

Yeah, I know cost of living, blah blah... But the quality of living, as well as the quantity is still better too.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

$1 a year:

quote:
Sorry, if you earn less than $90 a year we are unable to calculate your position on the richlist.

If this is the case you would be one of the billions of people who earn less than $2 a day. Typically you would also not have access to a computer or an Internet connection.

If you are earning less than $90 a year itıd be unfair to ask you to donate money to Care International, if however, you actually earn more than this it may be worth re-calculating your position


Now why do they think I'm lying?

$999,999/year:

quote:
You are in the top 0,001% richest people in the world.
You donıt need to know any more than that (and besides our calculator can't do sums that big).
Please consider donating just a small amount of your enormous wealth to help some of the poorest people in the world. Many of their lives could be improved dramatically or even saved if you donate just one hour's salary (approx $694.44)


Ah, the REAL reason for this site, eh? Getting wealthy folk to turn over their hard-earned cash to the undeserving poor? Japher, I'm ashamed you brought this to our website.

Yeah sorry 'bout the donation thingy... Just thought it was an interesting calc...

Also,

I made $100/year there would be 240,963,855 people poorer than me. So this statement is a flat out lie:

Wrong, ding-dong.

There are 2,375,250,000 people poorer than you.
How do you feel about that? A bit richer we hope. Please consider donating just a small amount to help some of the poorest people in the world. Many of their lives could be improved dramatically or even saved if you donate just one hour's salary (approx $0.5)

Oh, and in case you’re interested you are the 3,624,750,000 richest person in the world.


For $729/year, i.e. less than $2/day.

With all your money, I hope you have an accountant.

p.s. I do think, though, that the website owners should target an audience with a little more discretionary income.

Yes, it's a dontation gimick.
But it does make you think. Middle class Americans (and I'm sure the same for most developed countries) are generally in the top 1% worldwide. (well maybe above average middle class)

I earned about $1100 over the sumer, working for minimum wage @ only 20 hours/week.

But yet I still manage to earn more money than half the people in the world earn in a whole year.

If that calculator is accurate, it's kind of depressing to think of just how poor they are in some 3rd world countries (and in our "develloped" society).

"Microsoft CEO Bill Gates has more wealth than the bottom 45 percent of American households combined."



Is that true?

There has to be something wrong with this thing. I'm paid very well, but it said I was the 167,565th richest person in the world. Aren't there more Saudi Princes than that?
