Are they including the billionaires in their statistics, and dividing the total sum by the population!?


As much as I hate the anti-US tone on HN, this article is kind of crap.

Fact is, getting good wealth data is really hard. Income is much easier as the govt collects that data.


It's really hard, but Global Wealth Report does really try. This news is crap, the report referenced is not. If you are interested do read the report.


I do agree with you, but I must point out that hiding income from the government is a very common practice. Probably a quarter of the people I know have significant under-the-counter income sources they feel no need to include in their taxes.


Yes.
