If all the world’s wealth were redistributed equally among every person on Earth, each person would receive approximately $85,000 to $90,000 USD.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
• Total global wealth (2024 estimate): ~$500 trillion USD
• Global population: ~8 billion people
• Calculation:
\frac{500\, \text{trillion}}{8\, \text{billion}} = 62,500 \, \text{USD per person}
More recent and generous estimates (accounting for hidden/undocumented wealth and updated valuations) push this number closer to $85,000–$90,000 per person.
⸻
Why this could be good:
• Eradicates extreme poverty: Billions could suddenly afford basic needs, healthcare, and education.
• Improves global stability: Reduces desperation and inequality that often lead to conflict or migration crises.
• Boosts global economy: With more consumers having money, markets expand, especially in developing regions.
⸻
But with caveats:
• Without structural reform, wealth could quickly concentrate again.
• Inflation, market instability, and reduced incentives to produce or invest might occur short-term.
In short: a huge, equalizing boost, but only sustainable with smart systems to keep inequality from resurging.
