Some 73% of the world’s adults have less than $10,000 in wealth, and half the world’s adult population owns less than $2,222.

世界上73%的成年人财富不足1万美元，而有一半的成年人财富不足2222美元。

But there may be some hope for the least wealthy in the world, says Michael O’Sullivan, chief investment officer for Credit Suisse’s wealth management division. He notes that while the bottom 73% mostly live in places like Congo or Nigeria, some are actually increasing their wealth at a greater clip than in other parts of the world.
