Um, am I doing math wrong?

184 trillion divided by 7.7 billion = 23,896

I think it may be an average amount between those who hold debt rather than everyone in the world.

This would mean that only 2.14 billion are indebted? At the same time, how does it include public vs. private debt?

I think it would be really interesting how the figure of $86,000 per person was calculated.
