10,000 would be considered rich in a lot of countries. In Afghanistan per capita income is $909.
Though yeah it was a theoretical example of a society of 4 people with a total GDP of 20,000.
Which is another thing to note about the Gini coefficent, it only measures relative wealth.
If everyone in Afghanistan made $909, they'd have a lower gini coefficent then us. (It'd be 0 actually.)
