Half the world's population is now middle class or richer

You can't say that someone is rich just because they live in a richer country or city.  You still have to live and survive there.  Expenses vary by region and the same amount of money wont get you as far in those places.  Every region must be looked at separately.  This graph gives no insight into any of that.  

You realize that is not what this report is about, right?  It's not about being rich in Manhattan vs Holmes County, Mississippi.  It's about the average around the world.

I think you have no idea what I just said.  Being rich in one place is not rich in another place therefore a worldwide average is irrelevant.  Spending where?  Every country would have to have its own separate average.   This graph is for kids who don't have basic understanding of the greater world around them.  

80% of the US population live in urban areas. Nearly everyone is left out of this imaginary study.  There are major extremes between the high end and low end of spending and the 147k is NO WHERE near rich for any of those 80%.

Its just redicilous.
