I just read something that made me think... how many millionaires are there in the world is a question we probably never ask ourselves. It turns out there are about 60 million people with at least one million dollars. Quite a lot, right? But what’s even more shocking is the other part: only 3,000 people have fortunes of a billion dollars or more. And then there’s an even smaller circle—those who surpass 100 billion. Elon Musk is around 850 billion dollars, which gives you an idea of how extreme the wealth concentration at the top is. Honestly, how many millionaires there are in the world is a number that sounds big until you see it represents a tiny fraction of the global population. I wonder how many of those 60 million actually built their wealth from scratch versus inherited it. Because the truth is, the gap between having a million and having a billion is almost as big as the gap between having nothing and having a million. What do you think? Is it worth obsessing over these figures or better to focus on what you can actually control?
