Who Owns the Future?
The answer is more accurate that one might expect. The world’s future, it seems, is in the hands of 26 PEOPLE.
According to the Oxfam report presented at the annual Davos conference in January 2019, 26 people are, in fact, in control of 50% of global wealth, with an increase of combined personal wealth of 12% in one year, or 2,5 billion a day. In the same span of time, the poorest 50% of the world lost 11% of the wealth it held the previous year.
Interestingly, the number of people in control of 50% of the total wealth, keeps shrinking by the year, every year. In 2010, this golden list, counted 388 individuals.
The 2019 top chart includes : Jeff Bezos, $112 bn, Bill Gates $90bn, Warren Buffett $84bn, Bernard Arnault $72bn, Mark Zuckenberg $75bn.
