Perhaps relatively soon emerging markets and inflation will deliver to us the world’s first trillionaire, and I bet it won’t be someone who binge watches television. From Miranda Prynne at the Telegraph:
“The world’s first trillionaire could emerge within just 25 years, financial forecasters have claimed.
Bill Gates, the Microsoft founder and richest person on Earth, is expected by many to be the first to reach trillionaire status.
If the world’s greatest fortunes continue to grow at their current rate, boosted by the rapid wealth creation in emerging markets such as India and China then Gates or one of the planet’s super-rich elite could have a trillion dollars to their name by 2039, according to some predictions.”
