Remember when we wrote about how the 85 richest people are as wealthy as the bottom 3.5 billion?

Well, a new article by CNBC reported that apparently, the world’s wealthy are now worth $6.4 trillion. That’s UP from $5.4 trillion last year.

That’s a lot of money. But how much is “a lot”?

Well, according to this list, $6.4 trillion is more than the GDP of every country in the world, except for the US and China. And you know Australia’s national debt of $500 billion? That’s barely 8% of their wealth.

Heck, you know how people are freaking out about the US $17 trillion national debt imploding and bringing down the world economy? These guys can pay all of that off and still have change.

Check out the video below for a visualization of how much a trillion dollars really is. Sometimes you can understand an abstract concept, but don’t really get it until you see it.

Now to buying Mayfair and Park Lane…
