    Ok, here’s another one.

    The top 10% of Americans, which is about 25m adults, have a higher income than China, India, Russia and Brazil put together.

    (I’m not entirely this will still be the case using 2007 exchange rates but certainly its about right for end-06)

    Tim adds: Perfectly willing to believe it. As before, I’d believe the same about the top 10% of EU citizens too.

    This probably does not consider the undeclared income of certain Russians…
