“You might already be there. If not, get a job at McDonald’s and work overtime. It only takes $34,000 a year, after taxes, to be among the richest 1% in the world, according to World Bank economist Branko Milanovic in his book The Haves and the Have-Nots. CNN reports on Milanovic data: ‘The true global middle class, falls far short of owning a home, having a car in a driveway, saving for retirement and sending their kids to college. In fact, people at the world’s true middle — as defined by median income — live on just $1,225 a year. (And, yes, Milanovic’s numbers are adjusted to account for different costs of living across the globe.)'”
