    [REAL TALK] Eight men have more wealth than half the world combined

    Is this good or bad? Many of us agree capitalism is good. Socialism is bad. I think the biggest complaint by most level-headed people is that they aren't paying their fair share of taxes. Can't blame any one administration for that, they were all wealthy before Trump was president. Does anyone believe they would ever pay a fair share of taxes even if laws and codes were changed?

    This was their wealth as of 2017, I'm sure it's gone up since:

    The world�s 8 richest people are, in order of net worth:
    1.Bill Gates: America founder of Microsoft (net worth $75 billion)
    2.Amancio Ortega: Spanish founder of Inditex which owns the Zara fashion chain (net worth $67 billion)
    3.Warren Buffett: American CEO and largest shareholder in Berkshire Hathaway (net worth $60.8 billion)
    4.Carlos Slim Helu: Mexican owner of Grupo Carso (net worth: $50 billion)
    5.Jeff Bezos: American founder, chairman and chief executive of Amazon (net worth: $45.2 billion)
    6.Mark Zuckerberg: American chairman, chief executive officer, and co-founder of Facebook (net worth $44.6 billion)
    7.Larry Ellison: American co-founder and CEO of Oracle (net worth $43.6 billion)
    8.Michael Bloomberg: American founder, owner and CEO of Bloomberg LP (net worth: $40 billion)

      He may be, this is data from three years ago. Then again, he just had a costly divorce.

              it's not like any of these guys have billions in the bank they're just sitting on. it's just numbers...if they all tried to cash out at the same time, there'd be problems.
