| I'm loaded. It's official. I'm the 294,782,609 richest person on earth!  How rich are you? >> |
After my last posting, I was cruising through some frequent blog stops, and came across an interesteing link, which provided me with the above statistic. Which, coincidentally, puts me in the top 5% of rich people in the world. A shocking fact for a girl who bemoans her lack of monetary availability for taking all the adventures she dreams of.
The site also provides some interesting statistics/suggestions of what we can do with our "newfound wealth" including:
$8 could buy you 15 organic apples OR 25 fruit trees for farmers in Honduras to grow and sell fruit at their local market.
$30 could buy you an ER DVD Boxset OR a First Aid kit for a village in Haiti.
$73 could buy you a new mobile phone OR a new mobile health clinic to care for AIDS orphans in Uganda.
$2400 could buy you a second generation High Definition TV OR schooling for an entire generation of school children in an Angolan village.
Click on the link in the box to see where you fall in the world scale.
