The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.
So what you’re saying is spez will be richer than 80% of people instead of 90%
Actually he will be richer than way more than 90% either way
To be richer than 90% of people you need to have a net worth of $90,000 USD.
Damn. I’ve got more than that and I sure as hell don’t feel like a ten percenter.
Worldwide. So you’re competing with people sewing shoes at 1$ per hour.
That’s too high. People are employed for like $4/day basis in some places.
That makes a whole lot more sense.
That can’t possibly be true. I’m not saying you’re lying, just… holy shit I though it’d be way more than that. This is for US citizens?
The number was $1,212,000 to be in the 90th percentile in the US in 2017 according to https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2020/demo/p70br-170.pdf
But worldwide, it was indeed about $93,000. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/07/how-much-money-you-need-to-be-in-the-richest-10-percent-worldwide.html
This is for all people, worldwide. North America is very rich, relatively speaking.
I’ve read this before and continue to remain stunned since the cost of living is so ridiculously high in so many American cities.
I mean, wouldn’t be too out-there. How many Americans are living paycheck to paycheck with some sort of massive debt? How many can’t afford to have any assets? How many more accrue even greater debt to either survive, or drop money they don’t have on shit they don’t need (like that latest BMW) just so they can keep up with the Joneses?
On the bright side, people like him are unlikely to be happy with what they have. He’ll spend the rest of his life dreaming about the billions he ‘lost’, rather than being satisfied with the obscene amount of wealth he already has.
