In 2025, billionaire wealth grew at a rate three times faster than the past five-year average, reaching its highest level in history at $18.3 trillion. This comes as one in four people don't regularly have enough to eat, and nearly half the world's population lives in poverty.
Such extreme economic inequality is deeply linked to political inequality. Billionaires are over 4,000 times more likely to hold political office than ordinary people. In country after country, the super-rich have not only accumulated more wealth than could ever be spent, but they have also used this wealth to secure political power to shape the rules of our economies and societies for their own gain — and to the detriment of the rights and freedoms of people around the world.
