How rich are you?
wow. that makes me feel really really bad. sort of. maybe i'll go shopping to ease the pain. ha!
I know only a car salesman would pick up on this, but they have a Porsche Boxster as the car on the picture. You can pick those things up for $25k these days…hardly the symbol of wealth.
Oh, and in case youâ??re interested I am the 48,572,565 richest person in the world.
I wonder if GGW makes the top 10

Just had another thought…does this list simply calculate income, or does it allow for cost of living in all countries? $12,000 is nothing over here, but you would be the GGW of some places with that income.

Would that mean you just live a better lifestyle, but not actually make you any richer?
