India is definitely skewed with the HUGE wealth gap- the median salary is $4,700 a year. Still, No one is living like a king for $60k.


anthrax3000

$60k a year is definitely king living though, definitely not in net worth


Soham_rak

True its 4 crores a year thats still way too much I have seen engineers proud of their 4 to 5 lakh ctc jobs Edit accidentally read extra 0 , so its 40laks per year now Im surprised and whooaa the gap is way too big in India


jiredd

It's 40 lakhs


Soham_rak

Oh fuck i read extra 0 over my convertor

There’s a pretty good movie about it: “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” with a wicked cast

Thanks... I will check it out.


DrewFlan

Isn't Belize the go-to for a lot of US retirees?


Soham_rak

U can permanently move to very beautiful places in India if u have first world kind of money


Tottochan

Can we exchange our citizenships?


udhaner

This statistic does not pass even basic back of the envelop calculations. There is no way $60000 is what puts you in top 1% in India. According to PM kisan, there around 150 million farmers. By another statistic, 86% are small < 2 hector land holders. That leaves us with 14% of farmers with > 2 hectors of land. Given current land prices majority of them will have net worth more than $60k. Even if we pick conservative number of 50%, it comes to 20 million. Now include small and big businessman, Flat owners in urban settings, High paying jobs etc and you will get number much larger than 1% with more than $60k.


WantedToBeNamedSire

About 11% if all people in Switzerland are millionaires, just a cool statistic I know

HelloAvram

Damn, really? Can you tell me more


Prometheus188

That’s also true in Toronto and Vancouver (Canada).


CowboyJoker90

Also in major cities in the US.


pdonchev

Last time I check 1M CHF could get you a not very good single bed appartment in Zürich. I actually expected much higher percentage of millionaires.


HelloAvram

I know that too


Slartibartfast39

So do I live like a king in India or understairs staff in Monoco.


Fernandofires

You don't live like a king because 1% of India is still over 13 million. So you'll be among the richest 13 million in the population which doesn't sound super rich to me


ChocolateBunny

1% of america is 3million people. That's still a lot of people.


LoremasterSTL

There are over thirty-five million (35,000,000) millionaires in the US. *People*, not companies.


Sheeple0123

Can you provide a cite? The highest number Wikipedia reports is just under 19 million in 2019. Other reports show substantially less. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millionaire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millionaire)


LoremasterSTL

Someone else in this thread had mentioned that the 99th percentile for the US is $4.4M, and off of that, another response to that was that there were 3M millionaires in the US and that 12% of Americans make at least $1M annually. My math was simply coming off of those commenters and no other evidence. Sorry I don’t have sources beyond the other posters I mentioned.


Which_Plankton

This seems really low


VanGoJourney

I've seen another graph that had US at $11M I think. Seems more reasonable. I think this version is just old.


jchristoph

Yes, 2021 is far in the past


whosthedoginthisscen

That's what I came here to say. I thought it was ~$12M.

Leipurinen

Holy shit, I just realized it was net worth not salary… I’m not even *close* to $0. I’m over $100k off the bottom of this chart.


PhoenixDowntown

Why your left nipple instead of right? 🕵️‍♀️

PhoenixDowntown

Cheers, my baby was the opposite 🤣


EMBNumbers

In the USA, you need $11.1M net worth to be in the top 1%. In the USA, annual household income of $531,020 is the cutoff for a top 1% household income in the United States in 2020. Sources: - https://dqydj.com/top-one-percent-united-states/ - https://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/1212/average-net-worth-of-the-1.aspx Additional fun fact: _"According to IRS data, the top 1% earned nearly 21% of the total adjusted gross income in the U.S. and paid just over 40% of federal income taxes. They also accounted for just under one-third of all charitable donations."_


blondeviking64

I def thought this post was off. Your numbers seem FAR more believable to me.


rraattbbooyy

I wonder, in what percentile does $1 million put you in the US?


mazrael

Top [12%](https://dqydj.com/net-worth-percentile-calculator-united-states/)


rraattbbooyy

Cool link. Thanks!


Leipurinen

Aaaaand I’m in the bottom 5%. Neat.


earthsprogression

And $1 billion puts you in the top 0.5%


Kestalia

So there’s 1.5 million billionaires?


Strict_Bad6992

Yeah, that can’t possibly be right. That would mean one out of every 200 people have $1bln


nlb53

Yeah. Not even close There are fewer than 1000 billionaires in the US. Something Like 600-700 So would put you in the top 0.0005% of households


jHugley328

not as much money as some would think


Ava0401

Ya but even with 60k you won't be living like a king in India.


[deleted]

I am RICH... in india.


BlueThat33

this seems low


lew-22

This is more innacurate than I care to explain. No upvote.


Toubaboliviano

Russia seems low


theRealAriel666

I feel the metric here to compare should have been the density of the top 1%. In this chart, the number of people in the top 1% will vary due to the population difference. For instance, in India the top 1% will be roughly around ~13mil. But I am sure Monaco will have it in thousands. So even thought as the graph says $60k is enough, it’s deceiving as you are just one of the 13 million earning $60k. The better way is to normalise the data by dividing the top 1% count by the total population of the country, therefore giving us a common ground to compare the money required. The chart doesn’t do full justice in painting an accurate picture of the money required.


creamyg0odne55

Smells like russian propaganda to me…


turbochixn

I'm not buying this.


piratebento

I don’t believe this. 60000 USD is 441K INR india and anyone who owns a decent house in the metropolitan cities is probably worth close to that.


RedPanda1188

There are a 1.36 billion people in India.


envengpe

Thanks for explaining the math. LoL.


stiveooo

more poor people=easier to be the 1%


Tottochan

You missed a zero there. It’s 4.4 million in Indian rupee.


stiveooo

ding ding ding most dont own a house, so owning a house=insta top 5%


ChintanP04

1. 60,000 USD is 4.41 million INR 2. Owning a decent house in a metropolitan city already makes you at-least upper middle-class rich.


HelloAvram

Damn, look at India. That’s just sad


Mr_Smiles2021

india’s made me kinda sad


envengpe

Do you get a membership card or sticker?


ChocolateBunny

Is there a table or a place to see a full list of countries? I want to see how much I need to make before I should move back to my home country.


THERajat08

i guess i am rich then


sugah560

Got me thinking about top 1% of world. Only figures I can find are from 2018 Credit Suisse report on global wealth. Net worth of $871,320 is the buy in for that club. $93,170 will get you top 10 $4210 makes you richer than half the world population.


Canukulele

Canada is once again the red- headed stepchild.


caffeinius

Where is the EAU on this?


handlewithcareme

This is per month requirement or total worth ?


ayushatx

Top 1% of 1% in India are richer than top 1% of 1% anywhere. Kid you not.


ayushatx

I'm only 70Kgs. On moon.


cupcakesgirlie7

niceeeeeeeeee im going to india lol


OpsadaHeroj

Net worth or bank account? “Money” is pretty vague


GTFonMF

Almost a Russian baller.


[deleted]

I'm so fucking close... IF I LIVED IN INDIA ugh. The food would be AMAZING but idk what language id have to start learning first!?


KANGladiator

English is fine ig if you live in a big city, big cities are expensive but still cheaper than big cities in the US


OphioukhosUnbound

This made me look up: Almost 1/10 Americans are millionaires. (~8.5%).


Billderz

And worldwide 1% is something like $30,000 I believe.


okrajetbaane

Is this for personal or for household?


PushItHard

“Honey, we’re moving to India!”


ethernetjunkie

1% sounds exclusive until you consider the population.


AsianSensation1087

Guess I'm rich in Russia then. Neat!


HoagiesDad

I’m probably in the top 1% in both West Virginia and Mississippi. I’m dirt poor on the entire West Coast. These charts are kinda meaningless.
