Given a power law curve with $770K at the low extreme, $2.7m does not seem like an unreasonable average amount. RichList puts $1.31m=0.5%, $2.7m=%0.16 and 13m=0.01% of the population.
It also says that $1B puts you at #998 in the world. Oxfam claims that number recently grew to 1645 [1]. I can accept 998 as a calculated estimate based on somewhat outdated data. But, it's obviously not nearly perfect.
