The Global Wealth Pyramid

  According to a new Credit Suisse report, 47.8 percent of global household wealth is in the hands of just 1.2 percent of the world's population. 

Those 62.5 million individuals control a staggering $221.7 trillion.

Below that, 627 million people own $176.5 trillion, 38.1 percent of global wealth, despite accounting for just 11.8 percent of the adult population. 

The base of the pyramid shows how 2.8 billion people (53.2 percent of the world's population) share a combined wealth of $5 trillion - which is just 1.1 percent of total global wealth.
