Are you loaded or something? No, I am seriously talking about over $10,000 on a trip like this. You should look at prices for "Around-the-World" tickets (what Carno was talking about) and go from there... a travel agent should be able to arrange that for you. Even with a hostel, figure on $100-$200 a day in urban areas... some of those hostels (esp. in NY, as far as I've seen) are damn expensive.
You'd do well to pick up a copy of "Europe on a Shoestring," "Asia on a Shoestring," etc. etc. by Lonely Planet, for each continent that you are traveling to. Without that, you are going to run out of money in the first city you go to, especially if it's Tokyo.
You want to observe crowded urban areas? Try Mexico City. Bangkok. Beirut. Lagos. Paris. Rio de Janeiro. Definitely Mumbai and Beijing.
