I saw this on Yahoo news today "Inequality in
Russia reaches staggering levels". The report says just 110 people in Russia own 35%
of all the wealth, more than all but a few Caribbean countries. Seems to me I have heard
that the rich have a higher percentage of the wealth in the USA than what they say Russia has. I have heard that 5 or 6 people in the Walton family alone have something like 25% of the wealth in the USA
