CALCULATE HOW RICH YOU ARE:

Good news everyone...if you think you're broke, there's a good chance you're actually pretty rich compared to the rest of the world. According to an online calculator called the Global Rich List, it generates your worldwide wealth ranking based on your annual salary.

For example, the average American household earns $52,000 a year. It doesn't sound like all that much, but it makes the average American about the 58,000,000th richest person in the world.

According to the website, the purpose is to, "help people understand, in real terms, where they stand globally. And make us realize that, in fact, most of us who are able to view this web page are in the privileged minority." In other words, next time you're feeling like you don't have enough money, just be glad you aren't as poor as most people who earn an average yearly salary of just $5,000.
