    0.01% percenters maybe.

    1% in the US is about ½ million annual income. A lot of money to be sure but common enough that you’re not anything exceptional. You’ll never worry about money, but you’re still working a job and you’re still fucked if you lose it. You’re still incapable of solving world hunger. Maybe you could sort out a neighbourhood hunger problem.

    1% globally is about $50,000 income annually. Now you’re really amongst the working population in the US. They’re not absorbing any blows.
