    8.5% of Americans are millionaires. There are a few countries even higher than that, but in general, it’s significantly higher than most places in the world.

    Put it this way: More than 50% of the entire world’s millionaires (in USD of course, not local currency) are Americans. But Americans are only ~4% of the world’s population.

    It really is the land of opportunity IF you’re a professional doing… something.

      ok, so why are you busting my balls? I don’t own a house , nor do I live in the US. Why are you saying I’m privilaged for pointing out that my fucking meager existence wouldn’t be all that impressive even if I was a millionaire, and that these fucking US comedians are undercharging the saudi pricks for the whitewashing they are doing?

        I said it’s off topic and Americans need to start realising how good they actually have it financially. Just need to actually be good at something and that’s it.
