This is a very abused fact. When you are comparing the incomes, you are competing in your region, not globally and then your income goes from top 0.1% to top 10%. And then you realize that you won't be able to buy that house or that you don't have as much flexibility to change your employer. If you want to feel like top 0.1%, then you probably have to move to some forgotten place in Africa (most large cities do not count due to income inequality and corruption) but then your standard of living with your top 0.1% income is even worse. Statistics is too easy to abuse without critical thinking.
