I just reviewed some data on global wealth distribution, and the gap is staggering. When you see how many millionaires there are in the world today, the number sounds huge: about 60 million people with assets of at least one million dollars. But here’s the interesting part: if we look at billionaires (with assets over one billion), there are just a little over 3,000 worldwide.



And when you dig deeper into how many ultra-rich millionaires exist, the numbers become almost surreal. Only 19 people have fortunes exceeding $100 billion, just 6 surpass $200 billion, and only one person is above $800 billion. Elon Musk leads that list with approximately $849 billion.

We are truly living in an era of unprecedented wealth concentration. So the question is: how many millionaires in the world are actually in control of the global economy? Because the answer is: very few. Meanwhile, what are we doing? Building something or just watching from the sidelines?
