I came here to ask the same thing.
Taking in consideration they use the US$1.25/day measurement since 1981 [1], today this value should be US$3.28/day [2] (based on US inflation between 1981 and 2015).
Given that, I'd love to know the real value. Maybe it is still a positive perspective, but I think it'd be more realistic (or, at least, accurate). :-)

And there they give you the definition of PPP, aka purchasing power parity, and tell you they are using 2005 rates of consumption.
