[Louis the fly]

On Wednesday the World Economic Forum meets in the Swiss resort of Davos.
This brings together influential figures in international trade, business, finance and politics.

Oxfam have reported that 85 of the richest people have as much wealth as half the world population with $1.7 trillion.
The worlds richest person is a Mexican, Carlos Slim Helu, with $73 billion.
The wealthiest person in the U.K. is the Duke of Westminster who does not get into the top 85 as he has only $11.4 billion making him 89th.
31 of the 85 are American.


Off to the food bank for a tin of beans for breakfast, see you there.
