    Oh the second source was household income rather than individual, putting the percentage at about 37% of us households are in the globally top 1%.

      Still doesn’t add up. 37% of the US population is 120 million. 1% of the global population is still 80 million.

      Are you comparing US household income to global individual income? If that’s the case I can see your percentages working, but that comparison doesn’t make much sense so I’m still lost.
