In 2010, Oxfam said, the eighty wealthiest people in the world were worth $1.3 trillion, while the poorest half of the world had $2.6 trillion. In 2014, the eighty richest had $1.9 trillion dollars, up 47 percent, while the poorest half had just $1.8 trillion, a decrease of 29 percent. Oxfam showed that in 2010, the wealthiest one percent of the population enjoyed 44 percent of the worlds wealth, while the remaining 99 percent of the world’s population had only 56 percent of the pie. By 2014, the richest one percent had 48 percent of global wealth, leaving the rest with 52 percent. If that trend continues, the top one percent will own half the worlds wealth in 2016, and 54 percent of global wealth in 2020, leaving the rest with just 46 percent. cnn/video/data/3.0/video/tv/2015/01/24/exp-gps-0125-witw-inequality.cnn/index.xml
