World Economic Forum W.E.F's 47th, Five day meet at Davos is in progress and shockingly it has revealed that Top 8 Richest of the globe have 50% of wealth share that all the inhabitants of Mother Earth put together have with them. Though in earlier surveys 62 World's richest were said to have 50% of world wealth, Now it has come down to 8-Eight individuals owning the wealth. Such is the division between Rich and Poor on this mother earth, where One out of every 10 person is earning less than 2 $ income.
We are talking about creating opportunities and employment, but the truth is Capital is accumulated by few handpick capitalists and rest are all laborers in this Globalized, Privatized and Liberalized world. The top 8 richest being: Bill Gates- No-1, followed by Amancio Ortega of Fashion House Inditex, Economic Expert Warren Buffet, Mexico's industrialist Carlos Slim Halo, Amazon Head Bejoz, Facebook founder Zukerberg, Oracle's Larry and former Mayor of Newyork Bloomberg.
Though the news of wealth getting accumulated with few individuals is not a welcome trend, some of these richest contributing to the society through charity and philanthropic acts is consolation to those who care for well being of society.
