That's 660 more people than last year — meaning a new billionaire was added to the tally every 17 hours. Their total net worth is $13.1 trillion, $5 trillion more than last year.
To put these wildly large numbers into somewhat of a perspective, the world's billionaires have a net worth that's higher than the GDP of the second richest country in the world, China.
In fact, in the first month of the pandemic, US billionaires collectively added $300 billion to their wealth.
And there are "evil" billionaires. The billionaires mentioned here are from the western world. In some countries (i.e. UAE) billionaires treat their workers like slaves. I admire Elon Musk very much for what he achieved, it's almost superhuman but contribute to society by paying taxes!
