The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.
To be richer than 90% of people you need to have a net worth of $90,000 USD.
Damn. I’ve got more than that and I sure as hell don’t feel like a ten percenter.
Worldwide. So you’re competing with people sewing shoes at 1$ per hour.
That’s too high. People are employed for like $4/day basis in some places.
That makes a whole lot more sense.
That can’t possibly be true. I’m not saying you’re lying, just… holy shit I though it’d be way more than that. This is for US citizens?
The number was $1,212,000 to be in the 90th percentile in the US in 2017 according to https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2020/demo/p70br-170.pdf
But worldwide, it was indeed about $93,000. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/07/how-much-money-you-need-to-be-in-the-richest-10-percent-worldwide.html
Very interesting. That’s more in line with what I was thinking it would be for the United States. Thanks for looking that up and providing the info.
This is for all people, worldwide. North America is very rich, relatively speaking.
Ah, ok, I suppose that makes a bit more sense then.
I’ve read this before and continue to remain stunned since the cost of living is so ridiculously high in so many American cities.
