The world's rich are suffering too 全世界最有錢的人也在受苦

THE wealth of the world’s richest people fell by almost a fifth last year to $33 trillion, according to the World Wealth Report from Merrill Lynch and Capgemini. A rich person is defined as having at least $1m of assets besides his main home, its contents and collectable items. The number of rich people shrank by 15% to 8.6m, or 0.1% of the world's population. Their wealth declined by more than 20% in North America, Europe and Asia, but by a bit less in Africa and the Middle East. Latin America’s rich were the least affected: they lost 6% of their wealth, and the number there fell by less than 1%. In North America, which had a large proportion of people just above the $1m threshold, the ranks slimmed by 19%.

上一篇daily chart說的是美國失業率達到9.5%  26年來最高

這篇來個全球首富們財產縮水

去年最有錢的人們財產縮水了1/5到USD 33 Trillion

怎麼樣才能算得上是首富群呢？ 

就是除了自己住的房子+內容物以外要有US1Million的資產

(Individuals with at least 1M of investable assets)

所以去年首富群的數目少了15%  只有8.6million人

(全球人口總數的0.1%)

拉丁美洲的首富們受到最少影響  只減少6%的財富

北美洲則有最多剛好超過首富定義門檻一點點的首富

所以減少了最多首富人數  少了19%

想想我這輩子應該沒機會成為什麼首富了…

看完這篇文章害我好傷心喔

我要嘆一口大大的氣…

回頭想想100萬美金也才3,500萬台幣啊
我幹嗎妄自菲薄  等我把房貸還完家裡老的掛了就有啦～
YAY又開心起來～
