1 trillion divided by 8.5 billion is $117. Global GDP is around $126T, so accumulated wealth of less than 1% of global GDP can barely move the needle. | ||

Not sure which number you're questioning, but it all looks right to me: $852.7B[0] + $109.9B[0] = $962.6B ~= $1T ($1,000,000,000,000) World population ~= 8.3B (8,300,000,000)[1] $1,000,000,000,000 / 8,300,000,000 people = $120.481927711 per person[2] [0] https://www.forbes.com/real-time-billionaires/ [1] https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/ [2] https://www.google.com/search?q=%241%2C000%2C000%2C000%2C000... | ||
