I think it's a bit less than that. Adjusting calculations I did years ago of "world population / total land area" it now comes out to about 0.020234282112 Km2. Not deducting for unusable land or land already in use by cities, roads, etc. either so actual per person is even less. :)
That was what I got from wikipedia's land size of the US / US population. Not sure though if that is actual land size or territory size, which would include a huge chunk of sea.
I first did this back in the early 1980's when the population was around 4.5 billion using the NatGeo world atlas we had which had a page listing the area of all the continents.
For anybody who thinks that this is plenty for one, they have their choice of Antarctica, Greenland or the Sahara Desert.
