The total wealth of the world’s billionaires grew by USD892 billion (17%) from USD5.1 trillion to USD6.0 trillion, and their numbers rose by 145 (10%) to 1,542 in 2016. “This continued the long-term trend of billionaire outperformance that was twice the 8.5% rise in the MSCI AC World Index, and far more than the 5.8% nominal GDP growth figure,” a report said.
