Per the 1%er’s newspaper — the Wall Street Journal — Mitt Romney is unfathomably rich:

Mitt Romney’s income last year of $21.7 million clearly makes him rich. But how rich?

So rich, that he makes the one percenters look like the 99 percent.

According to a calculation from Emmanuel Saez, the economist at the University of California at Berkley, who has become the top expert on top incomes, Mitt Romney’s income of $21.7 million puts him well above the 1%.

In fact, his income puts him in about the 99.9975% income bracket.  Put another way, Mitt is in the top 0.0025%.

Don’t forget folks, Romney’s net worth isn’t $21.7 million.  That was his income for one year.
