    Doing the math, if you took the wealth of the top 10 people and divided it up among the world’s population, everyone would get 153 dollars.

      Oh, well then that justifies their massive wealth hoarding. Thanks for letting us know.

        Hey, that is a month’s salary for most of the people employed by the people on that list.

      So potentially life-changing amounts of wealth for the vast majority of humanity that doesn’t live in a first world country, and a nice bump for those who do. Sounds like a good thing then.

        Yeah, for most of us on this website, that amount isn’t life changing, but for a vast part of people on this planet, it would be highly significant.
        For me, I read that comment as being sort of a counter-argument, but in my view, it only goes to show how faulty things are.
