A closer look at the world.

So here are some statistics for you.

World GDP, 2007 = $65.61trn (as far as I can tell, a trn is 12 zeros)

World Population, 2007 = 6.6bn (9 zeros)

I’ll do the maths for you. This means that if everyone in the world was earning an equal amount, we’d all be on a yearly salary of $994.10.
