How rich are you? (http://www.globalrichlist.com/)

here, you put in your annual income, and their system calculates your place and the global richlist. it also tells you how many people are richer/poorer than you.

it appears to be some fundraising thingy that asks for an hours of your salary (calculates that as well).

You are in the top 14.93% richest people in the world.
There are 5,103,919,793 people poorer than you.
How do you feel about that? A bit richer we hope. Please consider donating just a small amount to help some of the poorest people in the world. Many of their lives could be improved dramatically or even saved if you donate just one hour's salary (approx £0.93)

Oh, and in case you’re interested you are the 896,080,207 richest person in the world.

i feel guilty now :(

What a stupid site.

It asks what my income is, not how much I've got.

So for instance income= £1m, expenditure >£1m so I am not rich. Cash in bank = £1m so I am rich. But it only asks for income.

You are in the top 0,001% richest people in the world.
You don¹t need to know any more than that (and besides our calculator can&#39;t do sums that big).
Please consider donating just a small amount of your enormous wealth to help some of the poorest people in the world. Many of their lives could be improved dramatically or even saved if you donate just one hour&#39;s salary (approx &#036;694.44)

£11.55 an hour &#33;&#33; where do you work?

Mine was £4500 a year approx - £3000 student loan per year, and about £1500 from part time work, which came out as £3.50 an hour or something like that.

that&#39;s not how it works

you have 1 million, spend 1 million on stuff..., you have less than 1 million&#39;s worth or stuff. Not rich? nah

It&#39;s just a measurement of richness for ur income, the rate u make per hour.

however that doesn&#39;t mean a person making 100 dollars/hour is any richer than a person having 100 million dollars in a bank and not have a job

when judging how "rich" someone is, demographics comes in to play.

take your guy that makes a hundred bucks an hour...sounds rich right? what if he resides in beverly hills - now he&#39;s a poor boy.

you can&#39;t judge how rich someone is simply by plugging in what you make per year.

This site is interesting and an eye opener. I think we all take our cosy, comfortable lives for granted. The fact even a student (i was one) is richer than most people in the world makes you think of the plight of others elsewhere.

I consider myself to be very ambitious (possible millionaire by end of next year - hoping :D), I wonder how much i will care for the plight of the billions of poor people when i&#39;m indulging myself in my fortune (if i achieve it that is :D).

I just feel grateful to have the opportunity to make a success of my life, but sad it is denied to billions of people in the third world.

So, theres a lesson for you all. Be ambitious, make something of your lives, you dont realise just how lucky you are to have that opportunity until you come across a site like this.
