Global Rich List

it actualy makes you feel good. cos you understand how lucky you are living in europe and not in ethiopia or somalia and that... :erk:
 
i felt weird first like i was in the top 20sth percent of the world. but then i saw it was about the annual wage :eek:
fuck im rich! and remember: i didnt study after me 18!
 
you are rich in terms of african/asian/fucked up countries. not by european ones. same for meself. anyways, i'm content with that.
 
WHY ARE WE DOING IT?

We are obsessed with wealth. But we gauge how rich we are by looking upwards at those who have more than us. This makes us feel poor.

We wanted to do something which would help people understand, in real terms, where they stand globally. And make us realise that in fact most of us (who are able to view this web page) are in the privileged minority.

We want people to feel rich. And give some of their ‘extra’ money to a worthwhile charity.

its a bit of a paradox,that text.its like statistics.they can precicely kilometers far from the truth and despite that,prove you the opposite with the power of Mathematics :err: numbers are deceptive.
 
very true. people should be ashamed when theyre talking about the car that they cant afford. disgusting. it gets on me nerves if i hear people talking in such a way about money that its all about luxury and that.
btw do you think its normal that beckham earns 15 million € a year? he should at least giv 14 mil away to charity. or building a hospital for poor people somewhere in south america. he has the opportunity to do it...
 
I dunno if beckham was only making his money from football id respect it, he's using his talent to do a job no one else can do (well a job that lots of other ppl can do better actually)

I just hate ppl who are mega rich cos their daddies mega rich :lol:
 
its the same. yeah now you mentioned. thats what he's earning at real. without the sponsoring and appearances here and there

I totally agree.....but we all know that the rich only tend to get richer... most of them don't give a fuck about poor human beings ... its a mess...

There is a German saying:
Der Teufel scheisst nur auf den grossen Haufen

which in english means something like that:
The devil only shits on the big bunch...

You can relate it to the saying:
Money makes money....
 
stuff like that is totally irrelevant. if course let's say the average indian guy doesn't have such a high wage as let's say someone from central europe, but he doesn't have to pay 60?c for a ball of icecream as well. it always has to be relative to the price levels in the respective countries.
i hate statistics going like "in bangladesh average income is about 10USD per month". sure it is, but it's irrelevant because a loaf of bread doesn't cost 1$ there but maybe 0.01$ instead.
but this should not veil the overall bad living quality in this region.
 
Be cool to go there with a few thousand quid and become a god though
 
yeah but point is your house gets flooded half of the year and the other half you have no water available at all. plus you can't buy anything there for your money except for rice. best choice would be to import stuff from indoa, but that's much more expensive already.
 
Can't you buy a house cheap and upgrade it with technology and stuff beyond the understanding of the natives and pretend it's sky magic?
