Rich Daddys of the World
Here are some statisics, courtesy Rediff. Probably I am in a Statistical Mode (puns intended) today.
- The richest two per cent of adults in the world own more than half of global household wealth
- Richest 10 per cent of adults accounted for 85 per cent of the total global assets
- almost all of the world's richest individuals live in North America, Europe, and rich Asia-Pacific countries. Each of these groups of countries contribute to about one third of the world's wealthiest 10 per cent.
- The second group of richest people belong to China, while India, Africa, and low-income Asian countries dominate the third group.
- 37 per cent of the richest reside in the USA and 27 per cent in Japan.
Off I go for a beer!!
