They hold an approximate $4.1 billion. You will be surprised by how much they earn. They earn a total of about $9.2 trillion last year.
This year, they made $7.7 trillion. This staggering amount goes to credit these billionaires. They have whole empires that are not only providing for them but are also a source of income for a number of workers all over the world. Therefore, although it may seem like an uneven distribution of wealth, part of it is also accommodating other people’s jobs.
According to records, there are about 2208 billionaires in the world in total. There were about 2043 billionaires in the year 2017. Apart from that, at average, the wealth of these billionaires is about $4.1 billion. Together, all the billionaires in the world make up to 9.2 trillion dollars whereas last year, they made up a total of 7.7 trillion dollars.
This is primarily because those who are super rich continue to get even richer which widens the gap among them and those who are lesser in worth. Most of these top spots are held by entrepreneurs.
