If the wealth listed in this post were distributed evenly to every citizen of the US, each would receive an over $3000 windfall

3k? I could actually afford an emergency, or could repair the differed stuff on my car for starters.

Why only Americans? Some of the people on the list are not from the US

Fair, it's still almost $150 for every person alive in the world which would be live changing for far more people.

FTR I chose US because it is in US funds.
