you need US$744,400 in wealth to be part of the 1%

User Posted Link

there are 36,000,000 US$ millionaires in the world - which is 0.7% of the world's adults

6% of those millionaires live in the UK (the total number in the UK has fallen since Brexit due to the fall in the exchange rate.)

$100,000 puts a person in the richest 7.9% in the world
