Although the graphic is nothing special you don’t see this data very often. Change in overall wealth (not income). The rich suffered a smaller percentage decline than did the bottom 90% from 2007-2009.

Net Worth
From a poster series The World of 100 by Toby Ng looking at statistical information about the world. Found via Brainpickings
If you assume the world is made of 100 people then 6 people have 59% of the world’s net wealth. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any reference to the data source for this image but that sounds about right.

From the Economist

Instead of income this graph focuses on personal net worth. I found the pie chart at Metrics 2.0, depicting the share of personal wealth by region in 2000.
Average wealth amounted to $144,000 per person in the USA in year 2000, and $181,000 in Japan. Lower down among countries with wealth data are India, with per capita assets of $1,100, and Indonesia with $1,400 per capita.
