I hate to point it out but the richest 10% includes most people in the west. Like if you’re reading this you’re probably in the richest 10%.

To be in the richest 10% of Americans you only have to be worth about $1.5 million. Which is most boomers and genxers with a house and a retirement.

    Correct. I found these numbers for global wealth: "[...] it takes around USD 1.1 million in net worth to land in the global top 1%, around USD 175,000 for the top 10%, and around USD 8,700 for the top 50%." If you have about 9000 USD you are richer than half the planet. If you own even a moderate home, you're in the top 10%.
