4/26    The global rich list.  Find out where you stand!

        Apparently, there are 5,995,017,435 people poorer than me in the
        world.
        \_ This is based on income, not wealth.
        \_ why do they calculate hourly based on 27 hours a week?
           \_ That's how many hours you work in a week in the UESR (Union of
              European Socalist Republics).
        \_ I find it hard to believe that an income of $200,000/yr means
           you're the 107,565 richest person in the world.
           \_ Maybe they're basing their numbers on what people declare on
              their taxes :-)  -John
           \_ Dunno about income, but worldwide there are 7.3 million
              millionaires.
              \_ I would much rather have a 200,000 a year continuous
                 stream of income than 1 million dollars.  (Though, you
                 know, not if I had to work for it).
              \_ I wouldn't be surprised that 1% of that 7.3 million
                 millionaires own +85% of the world's wealth, just like in
                 the old days of aristocracy.
