For many, the distribution of global wealth is a growing societal concern. But just how unevenly distributed is the wealth, exactly? According to a report by Credit Suisse, 71% of the world population has a total net wealth of less than ten thousand dollars. Despite comprising the vast majority of the population, the group only holds 3% of the total global wealth. The wealthiest .7% of the population, however, hold 45.2% of the total global wealth.
