According to Wealth-X, the total wealth of international billionaires has double since the beginning of the global crisis four years ago.

This is, of course, unsurprising, as the entire cause of the collapse was the Jewish/capitalist greed, and the chaos it’s caused has given them even greater opportunity to loot everything.

Epoch Times reports:

The combined wealth of billionaires has doubled from $3.1 trillion to $6.5 trillion.

The total wealth of the world’s billionaires is larger than any country on Earth except the United States and China, reported CNBC.

The number of billionaires also grew from 810 to 2,170. The vast majority are male entrepreneurs with around 60 percent being self-made; around 20 percent inherited all their fortune, while another 20 percent inherited part of it.

The wealthiest of the billionaires–Bill Gates, Carlos Slim, Amancio Ortega, and Warren Buffet–are all self-made. And China has the most self-made billionaires at 89 percent.

Some 87 percent of the world’s billionaires are male, while 17 percent of the women on the list were self-made, as most gained their fortune via inheritance.

On average, each billionaire is 67 years old, male, and worth around $3 billion–with about 18 percent liquid assets.

Unsurprisingly, New York City has the most billionaires with 96.

Hong Kong, Moscow, London and Mumbai are next on the list, according to Foreign Policy. The United States has the most billionaires at 515.

Average billionaires spend $22 million on yachts, some $16 million on private planes, and around $14 million on art, CNBC reported.

The Obama administration is withholding some military aid to Egypt as it reviews how it wants to proceed, a U.S. official told CNN.

The move is being described as a “reprogramming” of some funds to Egypt, but in effect, Washington is temporarily holding up some military aid to that country as it prepares for the possibility that future aid could be cut, the official said.

A spokesman for Sen. Patrick Leahy, David Carle, confirmed to CNN Monday that his office has been told the aid has been halted. Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, is chairman of the Appropriations State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee.

The United States gives about $1.23 billion in military aid to Egypt.

But the U.S. official emphasized no decision has been made to permanently halt the aid. These steps ultimately allow the administration to move forward on either scenario: pressing ahead with the aid or cutting it off.

Aid is not a continuous flow of funds, but a series of periodic bursts: a delivery of fighter jets; a military exercise. Both of those recent aid items for Egypt have already been halted.

The official said the latest moves to “reprogram” aid mean the United States has taken steps to get the remaining aid in U.S. accounts in line with legal requirements so the administration is positioned to cut off the aid, if it decides to do so, or continue it.

The official says once the review is complete, administration officials will go to Congress to decide how to move forward.

Reporter Josh Rogin with the Daily Beast first reported the United States has quietly suspended the aid.
