But isn't that a completely unfair comparison?
"Yeah, if you disregard all the poor people that struggle to stay alive, us rich people are generally much richer".
I think your exact statement is probably true. Because most European countries tries to distribute wealth in such a way that everyone gets to live, with food, healthcare, education and housing. And naturally that means that the 50% wealthiest in Europe are less wealthy than the 50% wealthiest in the US.
But the 50% poorest in Europe are much wealthier than the 50% poorest in the US.
