Looking at the list of countries by minimum wage [1] containing data for 201 countries:

* only 5 countries have nominal, effective minimum wage above $30k (Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland)

* when accounting for Purchasing Power Parity no country has minimum wage allowing to buy more than $30k in US (obviously ignoring Argentina, as it data is not reliable)

Additionally earning $34,000 in 2012 made you into the richest 1 percent globally [2]. So we may guess that today $30k easily lands you in the richest 5 percent globally.

30k Euros is what I got with 5 years experience as a developer in Italy, and it's quite normal here.

Yup. German minimun wage is 19.968 € (~ 24.353 $)

Interestingly a couple of high-wage countries that come to mind don't have a minimum wage at all: Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden.

20 Euros per hour is a lot better than $30k per year.

It's about top 20% in Malaysia, which is #37 in GDP.
