According to this: https://www.worlddata.info/average-income.php
It's around $360,000 in the US.
7 1 ReplyAverage is a poor metric, as it accounts for the rich who steal like there's no tomorrow in countries like Russia. Go by the minimum.

$60k a year to go die on someone else’s land. Seems like a bad deal.

The average life expectancy of Russian men born around 2000 is 60 years ($4.57/day*).

Jesus Christ, I didn't expect it to be that bad. That's Africa shit, and these are the guys that did some of the colonising, rather than being subjected to it.
Edit: Because it's not. it works out to more like $15/day, if we trust official numbers. That must be a minimum you're using or something.
It varies massively by region, though, because some of those colonies are still inside.

60k per year works out to about 164 per day, no matter when you die.
