Billionaires
There are 2,755 billionaires in the world with a collective net worth of $13.1 trillion. Besides the gross income inequality, it’s worth asking how they use their wealth. Is it trips to space – which have overtaken private jets and luxury yachts as the latest status symbol – or something more meaningful? Outside of Brazil, how many people have even heard of the media billionaire Luiza Trajano, let alone how she uses her power and resources to promote equity and inclusion in a patriarchal society? It’s easy to paint billionaires as immoral, but let’s not tar all with the same brush.
