Global Wealth Inequality

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

In Cambodia, having 100k in assets would put you somewhere towards the top bracket, but in the west it would put you just above the bottom line, and certainly wouldn't mean you were in any way wealthy. There is certainly a huge disparity in wealth, but the real wealth is in the 0.2% who are millionaires, or the 0.00003 % billionaires (less than a couple of thousand in the world). My math might be a bit off, but here's a pie-chart anyway:

I'm in the 99.9% myself...
