The World's Rich Got Richer in 2013 Than You Will Ever Be

The combined net worth of the richest people in the world climbed $524 billion in 2013 — enough to give everyone on the planet about $73, and an amount far more than you will ever see in your entire life. 

The figures come from Bloomberg's "Billionaires" list, a daily index of the fluctuations of the net worths of the richest people in the world. And they do fluctuate: Saudi Arabia's Alwaleed al Saud, the richest man in the Middle East, lost $140 million in value between December 30 and 31st. But overall, 2013 was a very, very good year for the richest people in the world, whose combined net worth rose to $3.7 trillion. (Alwaleed closed out the year with a healthy $32.4 billion in assets.)  See More : The World's Rich Got Richer in 2013 Than You Will Ever Be...
