Just as there is a difference
between a millionaire and a billionaire, there is a difference between the rich
and the super rich.
We must not confuse the rich with
high-income people.The rich have ready, surplus and monetizable wealth (and may
have inherited it without fatigue), while high-income earners (such as doctors,
stars and famous players) earn more than most people, but they may not reach
wealth.
We now come to the difference
between the rich, super-rich, and how to differentiate between them?
We all know that there is a
difference and that the first category is more than the second, but is it
possible to distinguish the two by numbers?
Many financial institutions agree
today that the "wealthy" are the ones who own more than one million
(dollars) regardless of the state and location of living. While the super-rich
are those who have more than 30 million dollars
There is also a report that
includes the numbers and nationalities of people with more than $ 30 billion in
the world (according to the Wealth-X 2017 rating). In this report, Saudi Arabia
ranked first in the Arab world with 2640 rich people with a total of $ 427
billion (including only one woman), followed by the UAE with 1120 rich people
with a total of $ 272 billion (note that Saudi Arabia and the UAE were the only
Arab countries in this list)
The country with the largest
number of "super rich" is America, which has 73 thousand rich people,
the total wealth of 8.719 trillion dollars. A quick review of this report shows
that the eight richest people in the world have more than half of the wealth of
human beings combined (Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Carlos Slim, Jeff Bezos,
Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Michael Bloomberg, Amancio Ortega).
But I do not personally believe
that it is good for us to become wealthy.
If everyone becomes wealthy, no
one will need a job or even a desire to accomplish and excel. The production
wheel will stop, workers will disappear and the joints of life will be
disrupted. We will all return poor (not because of lack of money) but because
of the disappearance of services, lack of incentives and equal purchasing power
for all people.
What most people do not know is
that the rich do not enjoy their lives because of their abundance of money, but
because of their small number and enjoyment of services and products that are
made and offered to the average and the toiling class in society.
