You didn't read the opening comment from jstx1, did you?

GDP is not income.

Personal GDP is not defined.

I'm sorry I didn't make myself clearer. I'm not talking about GDP, but income (which has a distribution curve).

OTOH, we can see that curve in a global context, of GDP per capita across countries. It's a boring curve, very power-law ish with slightly odd peak in the 30K-40K region.
