The figures stand in a research organization. The average power of the richest 1 percent is $ 2.7 million (over 2.3 million). The warning comes shortly before the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Which begins Wednesday. According to Oxfam, the eighty richest people together more power than the poorest 3.5 billion people.
