Are you in the 1% club?

Probably a moot question for all you OT ballers, but are you? I'm especially surprised by the disparity between the US and everyone else. I would have expected Europe and China to have more.

quote:

Obviously billionaires like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Mark Zuckerberg are part of the 1%. But who else is? According to Credit Suisse, another 47m people - everyone with wealth of $798,000 (£530,000) or more.

My thoughts exactly. Anyone within 15 years of retirement should be at least there in terms of net worth.

No. But I'm still a hardcore biker. I promise.

If wealth means net worth to them then yes.

Super low.

The median American net worth is under fifty grand; the average is roughly three hundred grand.

I mean, people fresh out of college should be in the same position as them.

Also, is that graphic world wide? I'd rather see the 1% by region.

I think we would fall into UHNWI. Although all this fascination with status is pretty pathetic. I think this board is full of the most self-absorbed and self-aggrandizing people on the internet.

More than likely. Which may explain why it's a low number... Between all the poor people in China and India.

If you think $800k is low net worth, you spend too much time on the OT or with your financial peers and don't realize how hard this is for most people in this country. Think about average non baller incomes.

It does seem low but there is a stark disparity in wealth between the West and Asia and Africa. This is still considering the considerable economic boom in China and India. It hasn't translated for the masses there.

nearing the end of my career and have time to start coasting, from my vantage point, 800k is poor, particularly when you are thinking of ending your conventional earning phase and want to maintain a decent lifestyle for who knows how many more years, I guess it's a matter of perspective but I've been working a long time
