The comment you are replying to is using the pigeonhole principle to cast doubt on your data by saying that there are more Americans with income over the 1% threshold you cite than can fit into 1% of the world's population.

I dug into the data behind your claim, briefly, and I think I ended at a self-reported survey. So, that data is probably wrong.
