The big person on the left represents 68.7% of people on earth. It shows nearly 6 billion of the 8 billion on earth[1] have less that $10,000. Let that sink in for a moment, the majority of the people on this planet live on less than 3% of its wealth (in red above). The next, smaller person, represent the lower amount of people on earth who have $10,000-$100,000m this equates to 22.99% of the population. So putting these figure together you can see that 7.5 billion people i.e. 91.6% fo people earn less than $100,000. What's very revealing is that around 8.4% of the world's wealth, 41% belongs to the rest of the lucky 0.5 billion or 500 million people on earth.
