  World billionaires are richer than 60% of the global population, Oxfam charity

  

  The world's richest 2,153 people controlled more money than the poorest 4.6 billion combined in 2019, the charity Oxfam said on Monday. It said poor women and girls were at the bottom of the scale, putting in “12.5 billion hours of unpaid care work each and every day”, estimated to be worth at least US$10.8 trillion a year.
