A full-time worker on the UK minimum wage (£5.35 an hour) is in the richest 12% of people on the planet. That's from here (via Marginal Revolution).

this is funny...

Just enter your annual income into the box below and hit 'show me the money'

MY ANNUAL INCOME = $365 (ie, $1 a day)

YOUR RICH LIST POSITION = 5,460,000,000

You are the 5,460,000,000 richest person in the world!

You're in the TOP 91% richest people in the world!

RICHER THAN YOU THINK?
How do you feel about that? A bit richer we hope. Richer and ready to give some of your newly found wealth to those who need it most. It not hard - just slip your hand in your pocket and pull out something special. Something that can help redress the balance - and also make you feel uncommonly good. Many peoples lives could be happier if you donated just one hour's salary (approx $0.19 - UK estimate).
