Answer:

2% of the world population own more than half of global wealth.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2017, 82% of all wealth produced on Earth went into the hands of only 1% of people. At the same time, 3.7 billion people - more than half of the world's population - have achieved none of their wealth.

The 26 richest people in the world have the same wealth as the poorest 3.8 billion, which is half the world's population.

The 2,200 billionaires amassed an additional 12 percent of their fortunes in 2018, while the poorest 3.8 billion lost 11%.
