According to the Georgia Guide Pile-of-Rocks, the earth should only host 500 million people. That means 7.5 billion must die. That means 15 out of 16 must die all at once in some catastrophic event. (or slowly over the next few decades?) If monetary value was the only determining factor, how much money would you need to be in the top 5%? Based on net worth and income, to make the cut you'd have to be worth at least.... a million? wait... 10 million? I can't figure this out, but it's a number that can be calculated based on available figures. I'm just not savvy enough to figure out what the top 5% of net worth is. I'm pretty sure there aren't 500 million billionaires alive today.

Not just top income. But do you live within your means. But it depends on how the collapse happens. Having massive debt can also be good if in the finale collapse no one gives a shit about money anymore. But did you go into debt to surround yourself with good resources and tools, or blow it on crap.

Good people are getting wiped out, shitty people are getting wiped out. Some niggers will get by on dumb luck, while some smart guy gets taken out being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Some are being targeted while others will naturally die off. It's at all levels. Being rich won't save you, being well prepared won't save you, but it will give you better odds. Who really wants to survive that shit anyway. Just do the best you can with what you've got.
