You are in the top 0,001% richest people in the world.
You donąt need to know any more than that (and besides our calculator can't do sums that big).
Please consider donating just a small amount of your enormous wealth to help some of the poorest people in the world. Many of their lives could be improved dramatically or even saved if you donate just one hour's salary (approx $6944444.44)
Yup Bill Gates all right!

Those numbers, when I try it, come up for an annual income of $290,000. So getting $201.38 an hour from that means they're assuming a 36-hour work week.
Anyway, what I'd really quibble with is the assumption that how "rich" someone is can be determined by their annual income. I know of some very well-off retired people who now have relatively small incomes, but have accumulated enough wealth that they'd be considered "rich." And I know some people with pretty nice incomes who seem to blow through it all without having much to show for it.
The site's a creative fundraising approach though.

Yeah...thinking about it...it's not very accurate for several reasons. You can't really base it off someone's annual income. I know people who make great incomes, but blow it on all sorts of crap. My wife and I take 12% off the top every month to invest. Plus...that starting figure is before taxes. So that should be taken in to consideration as well.
It is a creative fundraiser however...

Not sure if anyone else tried this, but the more money you enter in for your salary, the larger the DONATE image gets  If you make more than $1M per year, it won't even tell you how rich you are, it just makes the donate button REALLY big

You are in the top 12.39% richest people in the world.
I make less than 10/hr... I suck
Does really loving my job and being happy count as richness?

We have worked hard and it did not come easy...Many long work days (10 and 14 hour days + some) and working over holidays and weekends. Our schedules have mellowed out quite a bit in the recent times. Still does not come easy however.
