    There are ~700 million people living in poverty according to Google.

    The total combined wealth of the top 1% is ~43 trillion according to Google.

    That comes out to ~61k per person.

    So while that would be life changing money for a lot of people it certainly wouldn’t magically fix everyone’s situation.

    As for the food but we have produced more than we needed globally for awhile now. It’s really more of an issue of logistics. The places where food is the biggest issue tend to be fairly remote meaning that even with money there isn’t always an easy way to get food/water consistently out to them. It’s often better to set up those remote communities with local water and farming/hunting if possible.
