Elon Musk is undoubtedly the most famous of them, but there are many people in this world – and there are more and more, while the number of people who live below the poverty line are stagnating. Donations could leave the world by donating, but Rich is often difficult to bring their wealth to people. The reasons for this are diverse.
“The increase in the wealth of the super rich is unlimited, while there is hardly any progress in combating poverty,” was the sobering conclusion of the Oxfam development organization on the occasion of the opening of the World Economic Forum in Davos. According to the NGO, the assets of the nearly 2800 billionaires worldwide has risen from $ 13 to $ 15 trillion in the previous year – an increase of around $ 5.7 billion a day. In the richest ten billionaires, the assets even grew by $ 100 million a day. “Even if they lost 99 percent of their wealth of the night, they remained billionaires,” says the report of the organization entitled “Takers Not Makers”.
