What average? Average in the area? State? Country? Continent? World?

Anyone earning $100 a month is making twice the average salary of Sudan or Afghanistan. But it’s extreme poverty in other countries.

It’s all relative.

The average relative to wherever you live. Doesn't really matter since the question applies equally anywhere there is financial inequality. Which likely covers much of the world at this point.
