On the one hand, nearly half of the world’s population — over 3.7 billion people — live in poverty. On the other, the world’s 3,000 billionaires gained $6.5 trillion (€5.5tr) over the last ten years.
That’s according to a new report from the British confederation of NGOs Oxfam. The group added that since 2015, the world’s richest top 1% increased their wealth by more than $33.9tr (€29tr) in real terms.
