I mean, it is arguably a subjective and context-dependent measure as to exactly how "wealthy" someone is. From the perspective of someone who eats beans and rice every day of their life, anyone able to eat a "Western" diet is obscenely wealthy. That does not mean that it is not useful to distinguish between relative levels of wealth in the West.
