Fewer than 60,000 people – 0.001% of the world’s population – control three times as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity, according to the authoritative World Inequality Report 2026, based on data compiled by 200 researchers, that argues global inequality has reached such extremes that urgent action has become essential.
