How many people are rich

I've often been told, that even in Los Angeles - a city with a good many of the most absurdly and astonishingly rich people on the planet, there are also so many poor people, even I, with my self-described middle-class income, am really rather rich.

I don't feel that way, neither do I feel poor. Hence my self-description as middle-class. I'm sure I would be filthy rich if I were plunked down in Equador, or maybe even Idaho. But because I live on the West Side of L.A., I'm decidedly un-rich from my daily perspective.
