Think of this like a silent pyramid.
At the top, there's a relatively small group — about 60 million people — with a net worth exceeding US$ 1 million. That’s roughly ~1.6% of adults.
And here comes the shock: this top holds nearly half of the world's wealth (estimates hover around ~48%, depending on the source and the year).
At the base, the reality is the opposite. We're talking about hundreds of millions to over 1 billion people sharing a tiny slice — numbers like ~0.6% pop up in some reports to represent this extreme concentration.
The takeaway isn’t "hate the rich."
The takeaway is to understand the game:
Wealth tends to concentrate where there are assets, not just salaries.
Those with assets benefit more when there’s asset inflation, interest, credit, and growth.
Those without assets get stuck in the day-to-day math.
And that’s why financial education matters: not to promise "get rich quick," but to build a long-term strategy — income, savings, assets, and risk management.

Note: percentages and counts vary depending on the report (year/methodology). If you tell me the source, I’ll adjust the text with the exact numbers and date.
