    That’s 18 people who own about a tenth of the US GDP. Something needs to be done, and soon.

      Okay, sure. But that’s bad analysis. GDP is annual and net-worth is lifetime total. That’s also global wealth, not US-domestic (four of them aren’t even American).

      Agree with the sentiment, but we should really be talking about global wealth not national income.

        Well yeah it’s not apples to apples, I was just going for another massive dollar amount that was recognizable to give a sense of scale.
