There are 2,043 billionaires in this world. Approximately one-quarter of them are from the United States. Millionaires? We boast roughly 16 million of them. Clearly, it’s hard to amass such a large fortune. In fact, when it comes to getting rich, a billion is an order of magnitude greater than a million. Millionaires seem to be a dime a dozen. Not billionaires.

When a person can amass such an unfathomable amount of wealth, it piques the interest of our global population, much of them steeped in poverty rather than wealth. But does that mean we should be envious or enraged at the people at the proverbial top? The truth? Whether you’re a victim or a champion of our capitalistic society largely depends on your financial situation.
