Global Rich List

Even in this austerity fiscal year, we are still in wealth (or the apparent lack of wealth) as usual. But all of us may not be big oil or oligarch, but most of us are better than we think. We want to help people see this. As we do, we gather some very necessary funds for our favorite charity

We are Poke: a digital-centered creative company. We build simple and complicated living systems, and we are proud to say that you can not always tell which is which which is what you are. Large, small, sexy, clever, or made me think (anything goes well)

Two rankings of income and wealth are possible. This requires a slightly different approach to each track; we also make sure to balance correctly between ease and rigor

For the income record, we used statistics of the latest World Bank (2008) based on household survey. Here, we estimate you and the world population as 69 billion people at the time of the survey.

For wealth tracks, we mainly rely on Credit Suisse estimates for 2012. Credit Suisse is concentrated in the world's adult population, estimated at 59 billion people.

For foreign currency exchanges, we use purchasing power parity dollars (PPP $) to explain the differences in living expenses between countries, but PPP $ is also less susceptible to short-term fluctuations.

After calculating wealth and income distribution we will use the statistical model to estimate your rankings.

We used GiveWell.org for statistics on the malaria network - this is totally expensive and takes management costs into account

Regarding international wages, according to data collected by ILO and UN agencies, we will use the World Occupational Wage (OWW) database.

We estimate that the bottle price of 330 ml premium brand Cola is $ 0.75 (purchasing power parity fills the rest)

We had a family of four with a very basic meal at 60 dollars a month. There is little support information on this data, but the statistics come from the World Food Program (UN agency).

For working time statistics, we assume that people work 1,920 hours a year (40 hours a week, 48 weeks a year). Let's say you are working for 8 hours a day for iPhone only statistics (we are sorry for Android fans).

Donations will be donated to British care international. Please see http://www.careinternational.org.uk/privacy- policy for information on how CARE collects and processes personal data.

A few days ago, I met a very interesting website, Global Rich List, which basically allows you to enter your annual income (for most people this is 13 times your monthly salary) . You are the wealthiest person in the world. Some examples are much better than this complicated explanation.

It does not matter if you want to call it globalization, neoliberalism, capitalism - the global economy is broken like this. The rich rich became more rich, but the income of ordinary people is stagnant. The quality of his actual life is declining - the average British or American is currently facing a lower standard of living than his parents and grandparents. His safety, safety or stability is small. As life became like a strip mall, social bonds were blown away. He is alienated, lonely, desperate. He is overwhelmed by the anxiety - no matter how he obeys the rules, his life will only deteriorate.

Before oil was discovered, there were few outsiders worried about this return that Spanish can speak. Then the Western energy giant moved, and the first family joined the global rich list. Ovien told people that accusing foreigners of accusing corruption in their country and managing the treasury so that no one else is tempted. When Americans investigated collapsed banks, they discovered that Obiang managed a deposit of only $ 700 million there.
