Well parent is surprised that $750k only gets you 1%, despite the large population of developing nations -- the opposite of what you are supporting.

It's kinda ambiguous: it could mean either "a meager 750k" or "a meager top 1%".

Yeah, you could read it as:

[750K only] gets you to top 1%?

or

750K [only gets you to top 1%]?

I read it the former
