1,826 billionaires in the world...

And many of them have much more than just a billion dollars.

The US alone has 536 billionaires at last count.

Is the goal of capitalism to create as many billionaires as possible? Should an economic system benefit the individual or society as a whole?

How much money does one person need to do everything he wants to do in life?

Do the people have a right to say how much money any one person can make in their life?
