While 3.7 billion struggle to survive on less than R$ 45 per day, the top 1% accumulate R$ 185 trillion, an amount that could end global poverty 22 times. See the impact of this wealth concentration.

While you count the coins to make ends meet, the top of the global pyramid is swimming in money like never before. We are not talking about millionaires. We are talking about super billionaires. A group of just 3,000 people, who could fit in a small theater, now accumulates the equivalent of R$ 185 trillion. That’s right: trillions with a “T”.

This amount would be enough to end global poverty… 22 times. But what is being done with this fortune? Nothing that benefits you or the 3.7 billion human beings who struggle every day to live on less than R$ 45.

According to Oxfam, an international organization that monitors inequality, the wealth of this select group has grown explosively over the past 10 years. Meanwhile, wealthy countries, those that have the power and money to change the world, are cutting humanitarian aid like never before. Only the G7, responsible for 75% of global aid, will reduce funding by 28% by 2026.

The consequence? Nearly 3 million deaths by 2030, solely from HIV-related causes. That’s right: lives that could be saved.

THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN

Since 1995, global private wealth has increased eight times faster than public wealth. While governments see their coffers dwindling, the super-rich are fattening their bank accounts in tax havens.

Growth of private wealth: R$ 1.86 quadrillion
️ Growth of public wealth: R$ 239 trillion

If the world were a game board, it would be completely unbalanced. And those who are losing are not just the poorest. It’s all of humanity.

THE DARK SIDE OF WEALTH

It’s not just about money. It’s about power, influence, control. While half of humanity wonders how they will eat tomorrow, the top 1% decides the future of the economy, politics, and even the climate. And no, they are in no hurry to share any of this.

AND NOW?

Did you know that the wealth accumulated by this 1% since 2015 could lift the entire global population out of poverty for more than two decades? The question is: why hasn’t this happened yet?

Maybe because while the majority struggles to survive, a minority fights to keep everything exactly as it is.

Have you ever stopped to think about inequality this way?
