Where do the wealthiest 1% live?

I think that a PPP adjustment is required here to produce a reasonable analysis

This article is in response to the recent Oxfam report which talked about the wealth of the global 1%. So in that context the absolute wealth, in the way that Oxfam measured it, is relevant.

Then perhaps a better response to the Oxfam report would be to at least attempt a more realistic measurement of wealth and present something similar with that addition/adjustment.

I'm not sure I understand why adjusting for primary residence ownership would make it "a more realistic measurement of wealth".
