The richest 1% took 82% of wealth created last year, and since 2015 owns more wealth than the other 99%.
The richest 42 people own as much as the poorest 3.7 billion people.

Crazy. Wish I was that rich!!!

 

I've also heard that they are some of the most unhappy people on earth. I actually know of a multimillionaire who committed suicide because he lost $750,000 in the stock market. I'd like to have enough to have a good life but do not want to be rich.

 

I hate money- take me back to old style trade for services- I still tend to do that even now that I am retired.
Justin has it right.
