something is missing -> In 2011 extreme poverty in the United States, meaning households living on less than $2 per day before government benefits, was double 1996 levels at 1.5 million households, including 2.8 million children.[10]
It might have something to do with whose definition of extreme poverty you're working with. I don't know the source of the image so I can't look into the data they used.
Also, the US has decent government benefits compared to a lot of those countries and who knows if those are included in the data the visualization is based upon.
This data visualisation tool is amazing, , it allows you to compare everything from GDP to fertility rates, and all of the data sources are listed: gapminder.org
