The numbers behind global inequality
Half the world lives on less than 0.70 a day.
The global median is ,920/year — what many Westerners spend on a vacation.
You only need ~1,500/year to join the global top 10%.
That's less than the median income in most Western countries.
The global 1% starts at ~27,000/year.
A senior professional in London or New York is a global 1-percenter.
The richest 10% earn 40x the poorest 10%.
Global inequality is measured in orders of magnitude, not multiples.
The global average (3,800) is 3.5x the median (,920).
A small number of very high earners pull the average far above the typical person.
About 3.5 billion people live on less than .85/day.
That's more than 40% of all humans — below what most OECD countries consider the poverty line.
