How rich are you compared to the rest of population earth? The Global Rich List will help you find out. Just enter your annual income, click, and you will be ranked accordingly. The list works with U.S dollars, Canadian dollars, pounds, Euros, or yen. It is also fun to enter in different income amounts to see how you would rank if you earned, for example, $1,000,000 a year or just $1,000.
The list does not take into account such things as cost of living or a host of other economic factors, but it is helpful in gaining a better perspective of the distribution of wealth throughout the world. It should also encourage us to be more generous with the money that God has entrusted into our care.
Of course, this list only ranks your riches according to monetary terms. As Christians, we know that true riches are found elsewhere. “The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower.” (James 1:9-10)
Note: If you are interested in helping people around the world who have less resources than you do, here are some great ministries you can support.
Hmm.. I seem to be listed as the poorest person in the world with an income of $0 a year.
C’mon Timothy… what do you get for birthdays, Christmas, odd jobs, etc.? Almost NO ONE in America earns $0/year. ( ;
