From Mexico to India, a breakdown of the richest of the rich.

Since the financial crisis, income inequality has garnered increasing attention from economists, politicians, and journalists, and perhaps no income level has been cited more than the so-called 1 Percent. Yet that term can describe a wide variety of earners, depending on where they live. 

What They Make

Income standards vary wildly around the world. You might need the combined incomes of eleven 1 Percenters in India, a developing market, to equal one in the oil-rich United Arab Emirates. The U.S. almost splits the difference.

What They Owe

In most of the developed world, 1 Percenters don’t keep everything they make. A significant share of their income is earmarked for the government. In many countries, the highest income tax rate applies to only a portion of the 1 Percent.

Unfortunately, I do not belong to the richest of the rich, do you? 

Talking about the richest of the rich, are they happy? 

Are they really happy?

No, I do not belong to the richest of the rich.

Well, I am certain money does not make you happy just like that. Although I can solve (all of) your financial issues/struggles and there’s plenty of population who have to deal with that everyday.

Someone I know is neither part of the richest 1% (I assume) but they have enough cash to pay a house just like that. But as he does not want to pay the outrageous high house prices at the moment, he doesn’t buy one. His main hobby is saving money and looking for new ways to do that. While I wouldn’t mind to have a bit more money, I wouldn’t want to change my mindset with his.

You can? And what do I have to do in return, sugar daddy?

Anyhoo, money does not make you happy, but it can certainly make life easier. Or not. The great religons all say it is your attitude towards money that counts. If you cling to it, are obsessed with it, you are more miserable than the poorest sod on the planet.

From a Buddhist perspective, excessive wealth and an extravagant way of life can become a source of attachment, and create a fear of loss and of ceaseless craving. However, Buddhism does not see wealth as intrinsically evil, and does not claim that nirvana - liberation - is more difficult for the wealthy to attain. On the contrary, rich people are in a privileged position to practice the virtue of generosity, and traditional Buddhism partially connects economic success in the present, to acts of charity in the past during previous lives. In Buddhism wealth itself is neither praised nor reproved, only how it is accumulated and used. Wealth is blameless if it is rightfully obtained, without hurting others, i.e., without violence, stealing, lying and deception.
