The data comes from household surveys in the World Bank's Poverty and Inequality Platform (PIP). Surveys under-count the very rich, so the real thresholds for the top groups are higher. Some countries measure consumption instead of income. The amounts are mostly per-person household income after tax, so don't compare them with a gross salary. Details: methodology.
