How Rich Are You?

Celebrities, athletes and CEOs get ranked annually by salary or wealth, why can't we? Well, we can. How rich are you, and how do rank globally (from #1 to #6 billion) among the 6 billion people on the planet, who have an average income of $5,000?

Enter your annual salary here at the
Global Rich List and you'll find out. The calculations are based on income figures from the World Bank Development Research Group.

Interesting global income facts:

If you make $47,500 you are in the richest 1%.
If you make $33,500 you are in the richest 5%.
If you make $25,130 you are in the richest 10%.

I found the Global Rich list on Greg Mankiw's blog, who thanks Marginal Revolution for the pointer.
