==Household wealth and income== {{See also|Poverty in Namibia}} In the financial year March 2009 β February 2010, every Namibian earned 15,000 N$ (roughly 2,000 US$) on average. Household income was dominated by wages (49.1%) and [[subsistence farming]] (23%), with further significant sources of income being business activities (8.1%, farming excluded), old-age pensions from government (9.9%), and cash remittance (2.9%). Commercial farming only contributed 0.6%.<ref>{{cite news |title=Household Sources of Income |date=August 2012 |work=[[Insight Namibia]] |page=13}}</ref> Every Namibian resident had on average 10,800 US$ of wealth accumulated in 2016, putting Namibia on third place in Africa. Individual wealth is, however, distributed very unequally; the country's [[Gini coefficient]] of 0.61 is one of the highest in the world. There are 3,300 US$-millionaires in Namibia, 1,400 of which live in the capital [[Windhoek]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Namibians 3rd wealthiest people in Africa |last=Nakashole |first=Ndama |date=24 April 2017 |newspaper=[[The Namibian]] |page=13 |url=http://www.namibian.com.na/53749/read/Namibians-3rd-wealthiest-people-in-Africa}}</ref>
