Where did you get your 869,910 from? My guess is that there may very well be of the order of at least 100,000,000 people in the world with per capita income of $10,000+.
If someone opens an a/c and never uses it, that hardly represents penetration! There are about 150,000 funded e-gold a/cs. Some active users have multiple a/cs -- I have about 10. Allowing for this, there may be about 100,000 active e-gold users. These numbers and assumptions suggest a market penetration of about 0.1% of the target market.
