I suppose the question is open to interpretation. When asked, “will you one day be among the top 1%?” some people might think, one year out of my 70 on earth, I will sell my house for $400k and therefore for a brief moment be among the 1%, so I should answer Yes. I’d expect that most people think of “being among the top 1%” as a more persistent class change.

What’s most amusing to me are the 19% who think they are currently among the top 1%. That’s just math fail.
