Don't discourage! Conservatives HATE looking at median numbers instead of averages
That's interesting, because progressives on this very site are always the ones complaining to me about my use of median figures. Like for example, when I dispel the Bernie bro narrative that wages have been "stagnant" since 1980 by showing them figures like this:

The first complaint they always start with is the use of median figures. I don't really know many conservatives on this site, but the ones I do know of, I've never heard a peep from them about it.
Progressives REALLY moan about Hans Rosling, because telling people that their common beliefs about the global economy aren't based on reality. But that's bad because all good news about the global economy supports capitalism. Their complaint? Usually the use of medians. And they can never really explain why they think that's a bad thing. Perhaps you know?
But more to the topic at hand, here's a median figure you're going to dislike:

So there you have disposable income, median equivalized against PPP. Remember, disposable income is after mandatory expenses like taxes, health care, housing, food, etc, are considered. So the common refrain like "but I get free health care and they don't!" is already accounted for.
Curiously, you chose "wealth per adult" as your barometer, which totally disregards what people can do with their money (like for example, go on a vacation) in favor of spending habits for collecting durable goods that hold tangible but not intrinsic value. Why do you feel those should be excluded?
