It became known that the number of billionaires in the world in 2024 increased by 204 people.
And the total combined state of billionaires amounted to $15 trillion.
This is reported in the report of the association Oxfam, dealing with the problems of poverty and related injustice.
It is known that the material condition of the richest people in the world last year grew three times faster than in 2023.
Oxfam warns that this rate of growth in inequality could lead to five trillionaires in the next 10 years.
This rate of growth will further exacerbate the imbalance in the distribution of wealth.
At this time, there are about 3.6 billion people living below the poverty line, on $6.85 or less per day.
That’s 44% of the world’s population, and the number of hungry people has reached 733 million, 152 million more than in 2019.
