Since I know many of you are interested in how the world’s wealth is spent, I thought you may be interested in the graphic I read on Information is Beautiful called the Billion Dollar Gram. It is an interesting representation of what our wealth is doing… and a few of the things our wealth could do, put to different use.
Highlights include:
$465 Billion would feed every child on earth for 5 years.
$21 Billion would save the Amazon
$300 Billion is given to charity by Americans
$103 Billion is spent in foreign aid by leading nations.
I suggest you check it out.
