Recently, Barron’s published an article titled, “Are you rich?”, in which Tom Sullivan explores the ins and outs of true wealth.

According to this article, you aren’t really rich until you have $25 million. Seems high, right?

It turns out that being truly wealthy has to do with retirement. With $25 million, you will be free of any financial worry when you retire and can easily create an annual income of $1 million.

The article breaks down true wealth into three categories:

• Beer & Pretzels ($25-$50 million = 125,000 U.S. Households) — Allows you to live the high life…
• Wine & Cheese ($50-$500 million = 49,000 U.S. Households) — Allows you to stop flying commercial airlines and buy vacation homes…
• Caviar & Champagne ($500+ million = 1,400 U.S. Households) — Allows you to buy a palace and a mega yacht…

Even if you don’t fit into the Beer & Pretzels category (or any of those categories), don’t feel bad. A website run by Poke – the same group that made Unlimited for Orange (See An infinitely long webpage…because “Good Things Should Never End” ) – has created another website, Global Rich List, that helps you realize how fortunate you really are.

For example, let’s say you have an annual income of $100,000. Well, then you’d be the 39,615,049th richest person in the world! And if you visited Poke’s Rich-O-Meter, it would tell you that there are 5,952,586,436 people poorer than you.

So if you make $100,000, but still can’t afford to play with the Beer & Pretzels crowd, remember this…you’re still in the TOP 0.66% richest people in the world…
