Living on more than US$ 200 a day
Summary
This “Worldmapper” map shows where the richest people, or those living on more than 200 US dollars of purchasing power parity (PPP) per day, live. Territory size shows the proportion of of all people living on over $200 a day that live in each particular country. In 2002, a majority of these high earners lived in the United States. Western Europe and South America are also home to significantly large high earning populations.
The map is accompanied by two tables that show ranked lists of the ten countries with the greatest and least percentages of the population earning over $200 in PPP a day. There is also a bar graph that shows the percentage of the population who receives over $200 per day by region.
