> To make the Global Top 1% you have to earn $32,400

It always troubles me when people throw this global piece into it. This global number is absolutely meaningless outside of a regional and often even city based economy.

The quality of life someone can purchase for their family with a $34,000 salary if we live in SF is a terrible and incredibly rough quality of life.

When people speak about the 1%, they are typically speaking colloquially about the 1% from any given region.

The quality of life one can purchase for their family with a $34,000 salary in NYC is still just awful when compared to quality of life of the richest people in China or the richest people in India.
