This is about wealth, not income.
World per capita GDP is around $9,500. So I don't know where that $60k comes from, unless it's global wealth divided evenly. Since the US has about a quarter of world GDP, if you multiply US household assets ($66b) by 4 and divide by the world pop, you get around $45,000 per person. Maybe that's it?
