    this elite group, made up of 77 million people including billionaires, millionaires and those paid more than US$140,000 (£112,500)

    The reason for the number is probably because it includes everyone making $140,000 a year aka a lot of labor aristocrats. This would include doctors, engineers, software developers, etc.

    It's really just restating what we already know which is that people who are comfortable in the imperial core (and rich people elsewhere) use way more resources than everyone else.

      Man honestly as someone in the U.S. with a college degree who makes ~30k, basically no one except doctors should make 140k. That’s soooooo much money, I genuinely don’t know what the hell you could even do with it.
