There is a mis-conception that American's are wealthy, you're not.

There's a difference between what OP published and living standards.

Norway would rank much higher (migration issues aside), and I don't see how the UK ranks that highly. The minimum wage has become the maximum wage for a lot of people over the last 10 years.

Also the UK population is over 62 million which casts doubt over that data set. 51 million was more like 1990.

EDIT: In fact, isn't Australia's population like 25 million these days?

The uk pop is 60 odd mil, but the chart is showing adult pop, so it may be accurate, sixth of the pop being kids sounds feasible.

I wonder how ‘wealth’ is measured. Is this basically showing how accessible / paid up housr mortgages are in these countries? Is pension pot considered? Are debts included?
