Rich List
A very nice paycheck: This is how much you would get if Musk, Bezos and Buffett shared their fortunes
The three men are among the wealthiest in the world with a combined wealth of over 500 billion dollars.
Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Warren Butler rank among three of the current richest men on the planet according to the latest Forbes ‘Rich List’.
The three individuals have a combined wealth of over $520 billion and only trail France’s Bernard Arnault who is currently the richest man in the world with a networth of $233 billion.
Share the wealth
When is too rich, too rich? It is estimated that the richest one percent of the world’s population receives as much income as the poorest 57% and roughly 25% of the world’s population receives 75% of the total income. In recent years, the gap in the US between the rich and poor has increased with an IMF report confirming that wealthier people are more likely to earn higher returns on their investments.
Elon Musk alone is worth more than 6 million times the average American salary with Jeff Bezos worth more than 3 million times.
If their accumulated wealth were divided and shared out to every citizen, each American would equate to roughly $2,000.
