*These are rough estimates based on the Human Development Index (HDI) from a few years ago. 15% refers to those living in developed countries, 85% refers to those living in developing countries. It's possible that figures have changed slightly. You can download the complete HDI in PDF, feel free to Google away.
However, based on an individual income model, I would fall into the top 9% in the world. This figure is current and based on income calculators (http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2011/10/19/what-percent-are-you) and income comparison charts (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/post/does-americas-99-percent-represent-the-top-1-percent-on-earth/2011/10/12/gIQA5JVQfL_blog.html) Feel free to follow these links to find out where you fit in on a world perspective.
>> I think I should point out that many people I've met while traveling in developing countries are some of the happiest and friendliest people; people who work together for the common good, come up with innovative ideas to make the most of what they have, and always express gratitude. I am inspired to be more grateful for what I have when I witness those with less than me expressing such gratitude.
So I'm definitely not saying that people in developed countries should look at others and simply be grateful that they're not in that situation. I'm saying that I think that all of us, no matter our situation, should be grateful for the things we do have. And, in saying that, I think that often times people in developed countries tend to lose sight of what we have more than people in the developing world. <<
