To be counted in the top 1% of income earnings [around the world] an individual need only earn income of $34,000 a year after-tax, or $68,000 net a year for a couple…

Overall there are 50 million people (out of 7 billion) worldwide that fall into this group of the “richest” 1%.

1) 29 million of that 1% live in the US;

2) 4 million live in Germany,

3) The next county with the largest percentage of the world’s 1%. France, Italy and England are next, tied there with 3 million…

4) Canada is next with 2 million, and she’s joined there with S. Korea, Japan and Brazil.

Those of us fortunate enough to live in the US, Germany, France, Italy, England, Canada, S. Korea, Japan and Brazil (and let’s add Australia and New Zealand) should thank the gods of DNA for our great, great good fortune.
