A research paper from Oxfam suggests that the wealthiest 1% own on average £1.8m each of global assets and they'll own more than 50% of the world's assets by next year.
There are approximately seven billion people in the world.
Eighty per cent of the world's population (about 5.6 billion people) own just 5.5% of wealth - an average of £2,500 each.
The 80 richest people in the world have the same wealth as the poorest 50% (around 3.5 billion people).
Those 80 people could fit into a double-decker bus.
It would take nearly 44 million buses to transport the world's poorest 50% of people.
Oxfam says that 52% of global wealth not owned by the richest 1% is owned by those in the richest 20% (1.4 billion people).
With 80% of the population owning 5.5% of global wealth (£2,544 per adult in 2014), the world's elite 1% has an average wealth of £1.8m per adult.
That could buy you quite a few gold bars.

Construction workers moved fast to fill the hole, which spanned a five-lane street, stretching 30 metres (98 feet) wide and 15 metres deep.
The chasm first  appeared on Tuesday, 8 November, in a business district of the south-west city of Fukuoka.
No one was hurt in the collapse, but local media reported disruptions to electricity, gas and water services.
The street reopened at 05:00 Tuesday (20:00 GMT Monday), in time for rush hour.
The city's Mayor Soichiro Takashima released a statement apologising for the "great trouble", thanking workers for their efforts, and insisting that an investigation into the incident's causes would continue.
City officials have said it could have been caused by underground construction nearby.
The world's richest 1%, around 70 million people (or the population of the UK and Ireland), will own more than the other 99% put together by next year.
