All it takes is an annual salary of 34k. I know this report talks about wealth, but if Im in the 1% based on salary im probalbly in the one percent based on wealth. With so many people living on 1 dollar a day, even a 10k bank account balance seems like hoarding wealth to a lot of people. Add equity in a house and a 401k and I think its a safe bet I am a one percenter as is a lot of this forum.
