The planet’s richest people saw their fortunes soar by $2.5 billion per day last year as the world’s poorest lost wealth.
26 billionaires now own as much wealth as the world’s poorest 3.8 billion people combined.
The number of billionaires has doubled since the global financial crisis of 2008, even as average families have struggled mightily to recover.
The wealth of the world’s poorest fell by $500 million each day in 2018—an overall decline of 11 percent.
