...populated by lower-income Internet users that need to stretch their dollars to the max; it's actually the opposite. Visitors to these two sites hail from some of the wealthiest segments of Internet users. Of Fat Wallet users for example, 32% earn between $60,000 and $100,000 per year while 13.9% earn between $100,000 and $150,000.

The couple reportedly received millions of dollars in wedding gifts--in a nation where the average annual per capita income is just $225.

...Prime Minister John Howard would not be high on your list. The conservative politician - and "mate of steel" to George W. Bush, according to the U.S. President - refused to enact the Kyoto Protocol and has long expressed doubt about global warming. Australia is second only to the U.S. in per-capita carbon dioxide emissions among major countries, and it's the world's biggest exporter of coal, the cheap, dirty fuel responsible for a quarter of the world's total carbon emissions...
