Eight men now control as much wealth as the world's poorest 3.6 billion people, according to a new report from Oxfam International. The men -- Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Carlos Slim, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Amancio Ortega, Larry Ellison and Michael Bloomberg -- are collectively worth $426 billion, the anti-poverty group said on Sunday. The release of the group's annual inequality report coincides with the World Economic Forum in Davos. The Oxfam report said that the richest 1% has owned more wealth than the rest of the planet since 2015. Of the 1,810 dollar billionaires around the world, 89% are men.
