1.35 Billion in total population versus 319 million. Remember that the top 1% that we hear so much about would be over 3 million people (the article states that there are 537 Billionaires in the US). Yeah it sucks as an american to see us on the decline, but some perspective on this helps.

If you spread it around a bit you could easily make 500.000 millionaires, which is still a fraction of the 9.630.000 the US already had in 2014.
