If do some rough math, 1% of the world's population is 81 million. So at $44T, if you took that $44T and split it up equally, each person would have ~$550,000

Doesn't seem like such a big number any more. I'd bet many people on HN have more wealth than that.
Actually, I'd bet many people on HN are in the top 1% of wealth globally.

- p00b 3y agoThat is not how this article explicitly defines “the 1%” in the first few sentences. > the top 1%, defined by the Fed as those with wealth over $11 million
- blackbear_ 3y agoThe article is talking about the top 1% in the US, not worldwide. That makes for about 335k people, having 130M USD each on average.
