Wow, I just stumbled upon some interesting statistics about the distribution of wealth. How many millionaires are there in the world, I wondered? It turns out that about 60 million people have a net worth of more than a million bucks. That sounds like a lot, but if you look further, the picture becomes even more interesting.



There are 3,148 billionaires in the world in total. Of these, only 19 people have crossed the $100 billion mark, and 6 people are already over $200 billion. And there’s one guy, Elon Musk, who has a net worth of about $8,490 billion. Those are just crazy numbers.

When you look at numbers like these, you start to understand the scale of inequality. The number of millionaires compared to billionaires is simply a different world. I wonder how many millionaires there will be in the world in 10 years. Some of them will become billionaires, and new people will join the club. Personally, I’m just observing these trends and thinking about how not to be left out of this process.
