U.S., June 27 -- The collective wealth of about 3,000 world's billionaires has grown by $6.5 trillion in the last decade, resulting in their total net worth being 14.6% of the global GDP.

$33.9 trillion would be sufficient to eradicate extreme poverty 22 times, based on the World Bank's highest income benchmark of $8.30 per person per day.
