Wealth of World's 10 Richest Men Doubled in Pandemic, Oxfam Says - BBC News

Jan 17, 2022 • The Covid pandemic has made the world's wealthiest far richer but has led to more people living in poverty, according to the charity Oxfam.

Their report said lower incomes for the world's poorest contributed to the death of 21,000 people each day.

But the world's 10 richest men have more than doubled their collective fortunes since March 2020.

Oxfam's report is based on data from the Forbes Billionaires List and the annual Credit Suisse Global Wealth report, which gives the distribution of global wealth going back to 2000.
