I just came across some interesting statistics about the distribution of wealth in the world. Turns out, how many billionaires are there now? Approximately 3,100 people control huge fortunes, and there are about 60 million millionaires. Sounds like a lot, but if you think about it... it's a drop in the ocean of the Earth's population.



The most interesting part is in the details. Only 19 people have a net worth of over $100 billion, and six people have surpassed the $200 billion mark. And one guy, Elon Musk, has actually approached $850 billion. Crazy numbers, honestly.

Reading this, I think: we are living in an era of unprecedented wealth concentration. I wonder how this will develop further. Are some of you actively growing your capital, or are we just watching this from the sidelines?
