Are you earning $1600 in Pakistan on in the US? I'm pretty sure you're top 10% if not 5% with that income, in Pakistan.
Developing countries main characteristic is the huge disparity between the haves and have-nots, which of course, leads to emigration and crime among other issues. Countries with a large middle class therefore are relatively better off.
In any case, making $4000 per month or more is what'll get you royalty style living in those countries.
I'm pretty sure he's in the top 5% :)
