From the title, I thought it was going to be a ranking of countries GDP per capita. Never mind :)
Since I implemented a median estimate while at Packeteer, I'm always amused by how many "educated" people don't even know the difference between mean and median.
Anyhow, "median income" and "median net worth" figures are quoted in the press all the time. There is not some conspiracy to suppress the median.
