In the midst of an economic crisis, you might be richer than you thought
I'm not saying this just to impress you, but I'm the 730 millionth-richest person in the world. How did I figure this out? Why, by going over to the Global Rich List, and entering my paltry salary. Do the same, and you'll discover where you stand on the global wealth hierarchy.
Lest this all sound a little too competitive, allow the people behind the Global Rich List to tell you their real reason for starting this website:
"[W]e gauge how rich we are by looking upwards at those who have more than us. This makes us feel poor. We wanted to do something which would help people understand, in real terms, where they stand globally. And make us realise that in fact most of us (who are able to view this web page) are in the privileged minority. We want people to feel rich. And give some of their extra money to a worthwhile charity."
There, don't you feel a lot less dirty now?
