I remember reading something similar a while back, surely with less data available for the study, but it concluded the same and I’m pretty certain that those 10% know it and don’t give a flying fuck.
Chances are, you are part of the 10%
To be considered in the richest 10% of the world population, you would need a net worth of approximately $130,000 (as of late 2024). I don’t personally know anybody just sitting on 130k of money and assets. If you are, good for you, but many of us are not.
The chances of an average American being in that group is comparatively high compared to much of the world (around 50%), but still on the “Chances are…” forgone conclusion of your comment
130k is a new car and some savings. With ~70k annual income, this isn’t that hard to achieve
Okaaaay, but I’ve never had a new car, have zero savings, and despite making more money than I ever have in my entire life, I still don’t even clear $50k before taxes. But I guess if it’s not that hard to achieve I’ll just go ahead and grab these boot straps here and- oops! They broke.
I’m not saying your life is a sunshine and rainbow. Just that there’s shitload of people who make more than enough to pass that threshold
Then maybe the ninety percent need to sue the ten percent for threatening their lives???
Where can we all sign up? These parasites need to go
Unfortunately that ten percent is probably most people on here.
btw the top 10% is 800 million people so if you’re from the west you’re more than likely part of that figure.
doesn’t mean it’s your fault but if you’re not actively doing something to prevent it then you are part of the problem…
