Only eight of the moneybags own the same status that belongs to the poorest half of the population. To such conclusion came researchers the charity organization Oxfam. Moreover, the study showed that in the next 25 years, the world could see the first trillionaire. To spend such a condition, you need daily for 27 centuries and 38 years to spend one million.
Eight billionaires own the same condition, which is in the hands of 3 billion, 600 million people, said RIA Novosti.
the Magnificent eight is headed by Microsoft founder bill gates. His fortune is estimated at $ 75 billion. From Amancio Ortega 67 billion. Ex-President of Inditex women know the brand of the clothing stores Zara. The third step of a pedestal of wealth is an American entrepreneur Warren Buffett with a fortune of almost $ 61 billion.
the Remaining five percenters is: Mexican businessman Carlos slim — $ 50 billion, the head of e-Commerce Jeff Bezos’s Amazon is just over $ 45 billion, the founder of social network Facebook mark Zuckerberg, a little less than $ 45 billion, and Oracle CEO Larry Ellison with a fortune of 43 billion and $ 600 million and the owner of the business information Agency Michael Bloomberg worth 40 billion.
In 2010, it was considered that the value of the property, which is owned by the poorest half of the inhabitants of the Earth, equal to the aggregate condition 43 richest people in the world. So over the last six years the situation only worsened.
“It is outrageous that such funds are concentrated in the hands of a few people when every tenth in the world forced to survive on less than two dollars a day,” said Oxfam Executive Director Winnie Byanyima.
According to him, inequality contributes to the fact that hundreds of millions of people are trapped in poverty.
“It’s destroying our society and undermines democracy,” insists Blanka.
Today, seven out of ten people live in countries where over the last three decades income inequality has increased. While only one percent of the world’s population owns the same wealth as 99 percent of those who did not get the Golden percentage.
in addition to the work of women in the world were paid the same as men’s, we will need about 170 years, according to Oxfam.
Oxfam (Oxford Committee for Famine Relief) was founded in Oxford in 1942 to help the hungry. Its purpose — addressing poverty and related injustice around the world. International Association now unites 17 organizations in over 90 countries around the world.
