NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The United States holds a disproportionate amount of the world's rich people.
It only takes $34,000 a year, after taxes, to be among the richest 1% in the world. That's for each person living under the same roof, including children. (So a family of four, for example, needs to make $136,000.)
So where do these lucky rich people live? About half of them -- 29 million -- live in the United States, according to calculations by World Bank economist Branko Milanovic in his book The Haves and the Have-Nots.
Another four million live in Germany. The rest are mainly scattered throughout Europe, Latin America and a few Asian countries. Statistically speaking, none live in Africa, China or India despite those being some of the most populous areas of the world.

Wonder if we'll see all of Africa/China/India outside our doorsteps with protester signs soon...

Last year I made $4,738 bucks, all of it in interest.
I wonder if that gets me into the top 50% of the world?
That would be nice.

1% is around 70 million people.
Since around 6 Billion make less than 4k a year....it's not really setting the bar all that high.
