We recently reported on a finding by the anti-poverty NGO Oxfam that the eight richest people together have as much money as half the world combined. One of the ordained is the billionaire Bill Gates, who Oxfam now notes could soon become the first billionaire in history. This will happen in…
… 2042 or when it will Bill Gates old 86 years. At that time, he allegedly had more than 1,000,000,000,000 US dollars! When Bill Gates left in 2006 Microsoft, his property was valued at 50 billion. Over the next decade, it grew to 75 billion and this despite the fact that he "got rid" of a lot of it through his own people foundations.

Gates and seven other billionaires (Amancio Ortega, Carlos Slim, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison and Michael Bloomberg) has in his pocket as much as 3.6 billion dollars others together or more than all the poor half of humanity. The richest one percent of people on Earth own 50.8 percent of all the world's wealth, which is more wealth than the entire other 99 percent. At the same time, Oxfam notes that it is necessary in a situation where you outrageously rich, trying extremely hard not to be even richer. To what he attributes so drastically enriching the few, you can read in the article These 8 people together have as much money as half the world combined.
