Ranking countries by the size of their economies and their overall net wealth, the U.S. is usually at the top of the list, followed by countries like China, Japan or Germany.
When the average amount of wealth exceeds the median amount of wealth, that tells you there is not a normal distribution of wealth. The guy standing in the middle doesn't have an average amount of wealth. It tells you that you are living in a society where a few people at the top have managed to rig the economy to their own benefit. The USA has a rigged economy, not a free market economy.
