Help me find a webtool to compare my income to the world's average income

September 27, 2007 8:43 PM

I saw a website last year that allowed me to type in my annual income. The result was that it showed my modest income to be in the 97-percentile of the average income across the globe. It was helpful to put things in perspective. Now I want to share that webtool with a friend, but can't find it. Anybody know the site?

Best answer: Could it be the Global Rich List?

Here's a similar tool from the BBC.

And here's the Metafilter thread about the Global Rich List, so I suspect that's the one you're thinking of.

Response by poster: That's it. Thanks very much.

Channel 4 is not the BBC. And also, that link seems totally broken (unless I can't get my head around the statistics) as it puts you in the middle of the rich/poor scale if you earn only one pound a year.
