George Obulutsa, Reuters: World's richest 2,000 people hold more than poorest 4.6 billion combined: Oxfam
NAIROBI (Reuters) - The world’s richest 2,153 people controlled more money than the poorest 4.6 billion combined in 2019, while unpaid or underpaid work by women and girls adds three times more to the global economy each year than the technology industry, Oxfam said on Monday.
The Nairobi-headquartered charity said in a report released ahead of the annual World Economic Forum of political and business leaders in Davos, Switzerland, that women around the world work 12.5 billion hours combined each day without pay or recognition.
In its “Time to Care” report, Oxfam said it estimated that unpaid care work by women added at least $10.8 trillion a year in value to the world economy - three times more than the tech industry.

I have no trust in a report issued by a Narobi based organization. Reports like this are based on assumptions that are usually skewed depending on the politics of the designer. Don't fall for bullshit reports like this.
The whole saga of Prince Harry and his wife, the divorcee American Meghan Markel is a sad one. You have a man of royal blood being led around by the balls by an American whore. Anyone care to guess how long it will be until we see news reports that the whore is filing a divorce from the Prince, demanding a multi million dollar settlement?
