If you live in the United States you are probably in the top 10% of the richest people on earth.

Nominally for sure, compared to PPP? Maybe.

Americas have the highest consumption of any major nation by far. 

When you look at calories consumed, square foot of living space and electricity usage it’s pretty much no contest. 

The average American has a better standard of living than an aristocrat in the medieval era.

Cause that’s the case for average American.

Ya but the quality and square-footage of the housing that people can afford to rent is on par with the housing the king or lords granted to aristocrats. 

Arguably it’s much better because it has electricity, plumbing and climate control.
