By: Gholamhossein Davani-EMBA
According to Credit Suisse report and IMF special report those are supported by several
special reports global assets in 2017 has increased to $ 280.289 Billion. On the other
hand Global total debt has increased to $233,453 Billion. Research shows total debt has
jumped from $50 Billion (1997) to $233,453 Billion (2017). On the other hand there are
just eight men who collectively own as much wealth as the poorest half of the global
population.
Oxfam warns that the gap between the super-rich and the very poor has widened greatly
in the space of a year. In 2016, it was the world’s 62 richest people whose combined
wealth equated that of the poorest 3.6 billion on the planet. The total global world assets
are about $280,289 Billion against global total debt were about $233,453 Billion those

6 New Zealand $147,593 12 UK $102,641
According to the IIF those summary are in below table $68 trillion, the largest chunk,
belongs to non-financial companies despite financial institutions have $58 trillion of
borrowings and governments debt around the world have $63 trillion and finally there are
households, with total debt of $44 trillion.

4. Statics confirmed US hasn’t posted an annual budget surplus since 2001, when the
federal debt was only $6.9 trillion (54% of GDP). Fast forward to today, and the debt has
ballooned to roughly $20 trillion (107% of GDP), which is equal to 31.8% of the world’s
sovereign debt nominally. The US just passed $20 trillion in debt for the first time, while
the UK owes £1.9 trillion ($2.5 trillion). Among OECD countries, Ireland, the US and
Italy are next, with $62,687, $61,539, and $58,693 respectively. Belgium, at $58,134, is
above the OECD average of $50,245 and Austria, France and Greece all have higher per
capita debts than the UK, and their citizens would have to find almost $50,000 each
($49,975, $49,652 and $47,869 respectively).Oxfam said the world’s eight richest
billionaires control the same wealth between them as the poorest half of the globe’s
population, according to a charity warning of an ever-increasing and dangerous
concentration of wealth. Last year, Oxfam said the world’s 62 richest billionaires were as
wealthy as half the world’s population. However, the number has dropped to eight in
2017 because new information shows that poverty in China and India is worse than
previously thought, making the bottom 50% even worse off and widening the gap
between rich and poor.
5. According to the OECD in 2012 the top 0.6% of world population (consisting of adults
with more than 1 million USD in assets) or the 42 million richest people in the world held
39.3% of world wealth. The next 4.4% (311 million people) held 32.3% of world wealth.
The bottom 95% held 28.4% of world wealth. The large gaps of the report get by the Gini
index to 0.893, and are larger than gaps in global income inequality, measured in 2009 at
0.38.[7]
For example, in 2012 the bottom 60% of the world population held same wealth
in 2012 as the people on Forbes' Richest list consisting of 1,226 richest billionaires of the
world.
The Oxfam report added that since 2015 the richest 1% has owned more wealth than the
rest of the planet. It said that over the next 20 years, 500 people will hand over $2.1tn to
their heirs – a sum larger than the annual GDP of India, a country with 1.3 billion people.
Between 1988 and 2011 the incomes of the poorest 10% increased by just $65, while the
incomes of the richest 1% grew by $11,800 – 182 times as much.
The world’s richest people have seen their share of the globe’s total wealth increase from
42.5% at the height of the 2008 financial crisis to 50.1% in 2017, or $140,000 Billion,
according to Credit Suisse’s global wealth report published on Tuesday.
6. “The share of the top 1% has been on an upward path ever since [the crisis], passing the
2000 level in 2013 and achieving new peaks every year thereafter,” the annual report
said. The bank said “global wealth inequality has certainly been high and rising in the
post-crisis period”.
The increase in wealth among the already very rich led to the creation of 2.3 million new
dollar millionaires over the past year, taking the total to 36 million. “The number of
millionaires, which fell in 2008, recovered fast after the financial crisis, and is now nearly
three times the 2000 figure,” Credit Suisse said.
These millionaires – who account for 0.7% of the world’s adult population – control 46%
of total global wealth that now stands at $280tn.(Guardian International).
According to the World Inequality Report 2018, the top 1% in the world had twice as
much income growth as the bottom half since 1980. Meanwhile, income growth has been
sluggish or even flat for those with incomes between the bottom half and the top 1%.
Oxfam’s new Reward Work, Not Wealth report reveals that the world’s wealthiest 1% got
82% of the wealth generated in 2017, while the bottom 50% saw no increase at all!
The world’s 500 richest, according to Bloomberg Billionaires Index, became US$1
trillion richer during 2017, “more than four times” the gain in 2016, as their wealth
increased by 23%, taking their combined fortunes to US$5.3 trillion. According to
the UBS/PwC Billionaires Report 2017, there are now 1,542 US dollar billionaires in the
world, after 145 more joined their ranks in 2016.
Let’s look at the top five “government leaders” in each category those have about $
41,565 Billion debt nearly 66% world debt and United states has about 31.8% world debt.

It is wonderful that despite the world debt has increased the number of billionaires and
also millionaires has been increased. For example world debt from 2002 had have been $
86 TR , 2007 =$149 TR , 2012 =$207 TR and 2017 grow to $ 233TR Meanwhile largest
country debtors has largest billionaires?! It seems has special relation to total debt and
number of billionaires in every country?!
9. There are 2,043 billionaires in the world, representing a 13% increase from last year’s
tally of 1,810, according to the annual Forbes list 2017. A separate report released
Tuesday of the world’s billionaires painted a different picture. According to the Wealth-
X’s Billionaire Census 2017, the world lost a net of 76 billionaires in 2017, with the total
number reaching 2,397. Their combined net worth totaled $7.4 trillion, Although the ratio
of debt-to-gross domestic product fell for the fourth consecutive quarter as economic
growth accelerated. The ratio is now around 318 percent, 3 percentage points below a
high set in the third quarter of 2016, according to the IIF. It is meaning grow rate of debt
effect to number of billionaires since according to last research the world's richest 1
percent reaped 82 percent of its wealth last year while the poorest half saw no increase at
all. The reasons for the growing disparity boil down to tax evasion, firms' influence on
policy, erosion of workers' rights and cost cutting, and it shows that the global economy
values wealth over work, the organization stated.
Finally Dollar millionaires make up 0.7% of the adult population but hold 46% of global
wealth as chart below :

It is meaning, the 36 million people with at least $1m of wealth are collectively worth
$128.700 Billion. More than two-fifths of the world’s millionaires live in the US,
followed by Japan with 7% and the UK with 6%. Wondering at present these millionaires
– who account for 0.7% of the world’s adult population – control 46% of total global
wealth that now stands at $280,000 Billion?
