International poverty organization Oxfam has calculated that the 85 richest billionaires on the planet, including the likes of Carlos Slim, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, have as much money as the 3.5 billion poorest people.

According to USA Today, Oxfam estimates that between March 2013 and the same month this year, those same 85 billionaires grew their wealth by $668 million per day.

According to the report, Bill Gates is so wealthy that if he spent $1 million every day, it would take him 218 years to exhaust his funds.
