This chart is interesting and confirms some things I've thought. The poorest in the US are 10x+ better off than those in the poorest countries. Kinda seems like free markets help everyone but obviously everyone doesn't capitalize on it equally. This shouldn't be a surprise. Much more likely to have more equality in a more poor nation. 

 One thing it does not do is show the number of people across the margins of income.
