WEALTH OF WORLD'S RICHEST PEOPLE

The figure below show that 62 of the world's richest people  no matches that of the bottom 50% of the people in the world.*  I urge you to read the whole article.

The top 1% of the world’s population controls more wealth than the rest of the world combined, the report said. Last year, the average wealth of each of the 72 million adults belonging to the richest 1% was $1.7 million, compared with about $5,000 for the 6.48 billion people in the bottom 90%.*
