They say money can’t buy happiness but it’s more comfortable to be
sad in a Mercedes than to be so on the sidewalk. But even if we own all
the fancy toys that we want in life, we still can’t have it all, as
coming across someone who has more than us in this connected age is
quite likely even for those born with a silver spoon in their mouth. If
you have ever wondered what’s your current wealth really worth in
comparison to the rest of the world? You might be surprised to learn how
high you rank after using Global Rich List – site that
compares your wealth and income against all others in the world, and
