Forum Post: Who really is the 1%

Couple honest questions for you all.

As of 2007 the average global income was $7000 per individual. If a person made $47,500 they would have been considered in the top 1%. How much as this number changed since 2007? I've heard a lot of different numbers, what do you think one would have to earn in order to be part of the 1% today?

With the 225 richest people on the planet holding more wealth than 2.5 billion of the poorest, why don't we ditch the vague 1% division and focus on 225 names?

225 seems a good start and a lot easier than 70 million!

I'm still observing...asking questions...but it would seem as though the same action we are taking to their minions would be appropriate? Top down, no?

and what do you want to do with the 225 names?
