Sources and method
Adults worldwide. Wealth at the end of 2022 for about 5.36 billion adults aged 20 and over, from the Credit Suisse / UBS Global Wealth Databook 2023 (tables 3-4, 3-6 and 4-5). Values between the published thresholds are interpolated: log-linear through the deciles, and Pareto above the 95th percentile, fitted to the published counts at both ends of each bracket. Checked against the report, the interpolated distribution has a mean of $84,720 (published: $84,718) and a top-1% share of 44% (published: 44.5%). The bottom 10% and the group above $500 million have no dollar endpoint in the source, so the bottom-group cards say “Below $0” (debts exceed assets), and the top-group cards show a lower bound. The bottom-group cutoff is −$168 in the original data, about −$190 in the displayed dollars; it is not an individual person’s measured net worth. A number inside either group gets a range instead of a position. Country follows the published wealth-band membership. Wealth is financial and real assets minus debts, not counting state pensions, and is compared at market exchange rates as in the source, not purchasing-power parity: a dollar counts the same everywhere even where it buys more. Your number here is your personal share of what you own, minus what you owe.
US households. The Federal Reserve’s 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances, public summary data, all five imputations combined with the supplied weights. Ranking counts only households with strictly less. Net worth is the survey’s: assets including home equity and retirement accounts, minus debts; Social Security and defined-benefit pensions are not counted. The survey has no inferred upper tail, so the very richest households are thin in it. Your number here is your household’s total; the page asks which amount to use when you change comparison during a count. After zooming out, Compare uses your current amount in the other population. You can edit that amount below the result. Start over clears both counts and remembered comparison amounts while keeping your current entry.
Dollars. Everything shown is in July 2026 dollars, converted from the source dates with BLS CPI-U (296.808 for September 2022, 296.797 for December 2022, 333.918 for July 2026). This adjusts purchasing power only; it does not update the distributions.
People. Every person shown is invented. Wealth is sampled from the distributions above; place, age, work and household are then chosen to fit it from country-level statistics. Ages and birth years are as of 2022, the year of the data. The last sentence of each life is a detail added for texture, drawn from a short list and not from any data. No card is a survey record.
The bar and the count. The bar orders the chosen population by net worth; each of its eight colors is 12.5% of it, and a card takes the color of that person’s position. Dots are the people you have met. Each person adds to a running total, and when the people you have met hold more together than you do, the page says how many it took. For the open-ended bottom and top groups, the count keeps the full range instead of substituting a specific amount. It stops when the combined total could first exceed yours. If the known range guarantees that it does, the count is exact; otherwise the result says “At least” because more people may be needed. “Finish the count” runs up to 300,000 additional draws without showing cards. If none could bring the total above yours, the result says “More than” the number drawn; no extra people or balances are invented. Changing your amount starts a new count. The closing line is keyed to your position: top 1%, top 10%, above or below the median, bottom 10%. A gap of a thousandfold or more over an amount under $1,000 reads “more than 1,000 times.”
Zoom out. The population laid out as a thousand squares, poorest at the bottom left, richest at the top right, so each square is one thousandth of the group (about 5.4 million adults, or about 131,000 households from the survey’s weighted total of 131 million). A square is filled in when it holds less than you; the square marked “you” is yours. The count of people who hold less is your position times the group size, rounded. Where the source gives only a range, the possible squares are outlined; no exact position or population count is assigned.
