Ya know, I’ve always assumed that being a billionaire was an extremely rare. Up until now, I assumed that there are around 10-15 on the entire planet… but 2,000? What the actual fuck.
There are now over 3,000 known billionaires in the world, and about 30,000 people with more than $100,000,000. The “game” is broken which means countless poor people are dying miserably.
I remember reading that, globally, there are closer to 4700 billionaires. Europe has lots of old families with inherited wealth that get split between handfuls of families. Africa and India have huge markets that the West ignores and have made at least a dozen billionaires.
Billionaires are pervasive, like mold that grows in the fridge if left unchecked.

1% own more wealth than 95% of humanity. There are more than 2k for sure. About 1% of 8M = 80k

Still very very rare compared to the 8,000,000,000 people on the planet, or whatever the number is at now.
Of course one is too many yadda yadda
You won’t believe how many of them were minted just since 2008. Rampant criminals.
Gee I wonder why that year /s
