Yep, same here. I live in Sydney AU and the app also put me in the top 1% richest people in the world by income.

When I did it by wealth, the result was: "Your personal wealth is equal to the combined wealth of 0 people in Myanmar." and "1% of your wealth could feed a family of four in Ethiopia for 0 months."

There's no doubt that we live way more comfortably than most people in Myanmar do but it's clear that being born with wealth to start with helps no matter where you live.

I have a slightly-lower-than-median wage in Aus and only $20k in assets (car, some furniture). This puts me at 0.9% for income, but 27% for wealth, which is quite a strange disparity - evidently there are a lot of people earning much less than me with much more in the way of assets.

While I am not financially astute, I'm also not terribly bad, throwing that money away on lottery tickets and whatnot. Buggered if I know how I manage to drop 26 percentage points - how are all those much poorer people managing to save so much more than me, especially considering that by the time you're out of the top 1%-by-income, you're below $30k.
