What's misleading about it? Check a PPP adjustment, it's still easily top 50% worldwide.
Here's an article saying 34K/yr puts you in the top 1% in the world [1], which is consistent with the above. Entering this number into my globalrichlist site gets 0.88% (pretty close) and the wapo article above gives 97th percentile, again close.
If you have a similar site that computes world income rakings that doesn't reach such high values then please post it.
