Got $2,200 ? In this world, you're rich
By MarketWatch
The richest 2% of the world's population owns more than half of the world's household wealth.
The research indicates that assets of
just $2,200 per adult place a household in the top half of the world's wealthiest.
just $61,000 in assets is needed to be among the richest 10% of adults in the world,
If you have more than $500,000, you're part of the richest 1%,
the United Nations study says. Indeed, 37 million people now belong in that category.
Half live on less than $2 a day
Half the world, nearly 3 billion people, live on less than $2 a day. The three richest people in the world –- Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, investor Warren Buffett and Mexican telecom mogul Carlos Slim Helú --
have more money than the poorest 48 nations combined.
The average wealth in the United States is $144,000 per person. In Japan, it's $181,000.
Overall, wealth is mostly concentrated in North America, Europe and high-income Asia-Pacific countries.
People in these countries collectively hold almost 90% of total world wealth.
The world's total wealth is valuated at $125 trillion. Although North America has only 6% of the world's adult population, it accounts for 34% of household wealth.
