Is ↑7 a typo? "A person with lower ↑6 wealth is a “high-net-worth individual” (HNWI, $1m)" "About 16 million people (↑7) are designated as HNWI."

Is ↑7 a typo?
"A person with lower ↑6 wealth is a “high-net-worth individual” (HNWI, $1m)"
"About 16 million people (↑7) are designated as HNWI."
- aoeusnth1 11mo ago16M = 10^7.2 ~= ↑7
- geor9e 11mo agoI mean the quotes contradict each other, is $1M HNWI threshold ↑6 or is it ↑7?
- ffitch 11mo agoin this quote ↑6 describes the wealth level and ↑7 the number of people at that level. the author gives every number in log form.
- geor9e 11mo agoThanks for finding a steel‑man way to interpret it. That is such a bizarre narrative choice I didn't even consider it. So they used that arrow notation consistantly to refer to the headings, representing the order of magnitude of money, the entire article, which was a great idea. Then for some baffling and unknowable reason, they decided to inform us that a count of people can also be expressed as a power of ten using the same notation.
