Yesterday I came across some statistics about wealth distribution in the world, and honestly, the numbers are impressive. It turns out there are about 3,000 billionaires in the world right now. It sounds like a lot, but if you think about it... that's nothing compared to the 8 billion people on the planet.
And if you dig deeper — only 19 people have a net worth exceeding 100 billion dollars. And only 6 people crossed the 200-billion-dollar mark. One guy is even way ahead with around 850 billion. Elon Musk, of course.
The number of billionaires in the world isn’t just a figure; it’s a measure of capital concentration. 60 million millionaires sounds impressive, but most people are nowhere near that level. It’s interesting to observe this wealth pyramid — the higher you go, the fewer people you find.
The question is, how do you even build your wealth in such a system? Most people just work, while these guys have long been playing in a different league. Maybe it’s not just luck or talent, but how initial capital works for you?
