Russian disparity.


1% of the world's population , according to a World Wealth Report, the study of Swiss bank Credit Suisse, owns 46% of the world's wealth . The world's wealth in the past decade has increased by 68% and now stands at a record 241 trillion dollars. Year growth of 4.9%. Nearly three- quarters of the increase accounted for one country - the United States .

By 2018, the size of the world's wealth will increase by 40 % and will reach 334 trillion dollars.

Reached a record high, and the size of the average wealth per one adult person on the planet . It is the first time exceeded 50 million dollars. Now the figure is 51.6 million dollars. However, it says little about the true state of affairs , because wealth is very unevenly distributed : 10% of earthlings possess 86% of the world's wealth .


The richest country in terms of average wealth attributable to the adult citizen and exceeding 100 million dollars in North America , Western Europe, the Middle East and the Asia- Pacific region.

The richest are Swiss. For each adult resident of the Alpine Federation has 513 thousand dollars. In the first four also include Australia (403 million dollars), Norway ( 380) and Luxembourg ( 315).

On the other hand, two thirds of the adult population of the planet has less than 10 thousand dollars each. Their total wealth amounts to only 3% of the world .

Since the middle of last year, that is for the year , the number of millionaires in the world has increased by nearly 2 million people. Once again, the lion's share of the growth came in the United States . Unlike America , the Japanese army of millionaires in the last year fell by 1.2 million mainly due to the tight monetary policy of the Central Bank reduced the rate of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar by 22%. Just this year, due to the devaluation of the total households in the state of land of the rising sun fell by $ 5.8 trillion .

Army millionaires will continue to grow. In five years there will be 50% more than now - 47.7 million people. 133 thousand of them will live in Russia .

Despite rapid economic growth in the past decade to China despite the fact that it is home to over 20% of the world's population, accounts for only 9% of the world's wealth . The disparity is even greater in Africa and India.

According to Credit Suisse, 98700 earthlings are multimillionaires , that is, their wealth exceeds $ 50 million . More than half of the multimillionaires living in America . In the Old World are almost 25 thousand remaining more or less evenly distributed throughout the developing world. As members of the BRIC - Brazil, Russia , India and China - multimillionaires for about 5830 people.

Developing economies managed to reduce the gap in the number of billionaires . In 2000 , they accounted for only 5% of the total number of billionaires in ten years only in China , their number increased from 1 to 64 ! The number of billionaires in some developed countries , such as France and Japan declined.

Russia , unfortunately, is now the country with the highest social inequality , with the exception of tiny states in the Caribbean. 35% of the total wealth in the country , according to economists Credit Suisse, or 420 billion, accounted for 110 ... the wealthiest residents. In other countries, the average share of billionaires account for only 1-2 % of all wealth.

In Russia, for every $ 11 billion of wealth have one billionaire , while the global average is one billionaire accounted for 170 billion
