This is some interesting data I came across today.I did some basic math with the figures.Apparently 0.167% of the world’s population are millionaires.About 0.013% of Indians are millionaires.1.4% of the world’s millionaires are in India. Do you know some or any of them?Who are they?What sort of people are they?How did they get to this position ? By any chance are you one of these people ? How did you make your first million?Or are you someone who would like to be a millionaire?

Does your website have a contact page? I’m having problems locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an email. I’ve got some suggestions for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it improve over time.

Of course when I do a new list I will include it.
why is your chart so different than
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millionaire
The figures in my post are for the year 2009 and those in Wikipedia are for the year 2011.
Your blog is just wonderful ,I have bookmarked it . I concur with a lot of the things you say and I’m waiting for the new posts .
