Bill Gates has like what 40+ Billion USD? The world population is estimated to be almost 7 Billion? If he gave 1 Billion USD to each person in the world, wouldn't we all be rich? And he would still have 30+ Billion.. I mean would that technically end world hunger/poverty? .... Wow my math is bad; I just read my shit over, NEVER FREAKIN MIND.. o...m...g    | ||

7 billion is: 7,000,000,000. He would need 7,000,000,000,000,000,000 (not sure, got dizzy) USD to give them all 1 billion USD. | ||

you can't create wealth by playing games with pieces of paper that say $ on them. Economies are more complicated than that. | ||

The top 100 combined on this list have about 850~ billion. That gives about 850,000,000,000 / 7,000,000,000 = 122$ per person. Congrats. | ||

Let's just say somehow, it did work out... I don't think inflation works like that? I could be wrong, I think I am BUT... they're not making any more money or adding any more paper to the system. Just spreading it out more. But ok, what if the top 100 richest people only gave money to people who were making less than 25k/year. Would that be more possible? Sigh whatever, I just get sad when I see the distance from the richest to the poorest. Like someone else said, $122 USD is a lot for a family in a struggling country. | ||
