The world’s 100 richest people earned enough money last year to end world extreme poverty four times over, according to a new report revealed by international rights group and charity Oxfam.

Oxfam says that the richest one per cent of the world’s population have increased their income by 60% in the last 20 years and that rapid accumulation of wealth by the world’s top one percent continues on an unprecedented scale at the expense of the needs of the world’s poorest.
