How much is our planet worth?

What would be the value when you put together all financial stocks all stocks, bonds, fonds and bar money, which exists on our earth ? This was the question the international management consulting firm McKinsey & Company asked oneself in the year 2005. OK as in 2005 so today this question can never be answered to the cent because the international capital amount is swaying every day and most time it´s rising.

But in spite of that the total amount which the company calculated is impressing. In 2005 the total amount of all financial stocks was amounted to 140 trillion US Dollar. To clarify how much money that is here a few examples what you can buy for it.

• 800000 Boeing 747 planes each for 175 Million USD
• 777777777 Lamborghinis each for 180000 USD
• or just 280.000.000.000.000 bars of chocolate each for 0,50 Cent

That would be a funny thing but I don´t think that the would would be so happy if you would spent its money in such useful investments. By the way its also very interesting to see how the money is allocated on our planet and which county is the richest. So here you got a list of the most richest countries of the world.

1. United States of America ……………………………………………………. 47,612 Trillion USD
2. Euro-Area ……………………………………………………………………… 26.567 Trillion USD
3. Japan…………………………………………………………………………….17,323 Trillion USD
4. Emerging Asia ………………………………………………………………… 9,581 Trillion USD

8. Latin America …………………………………………………………………….2,554 Trillion USD
9. Hong Kong, Singapore …………………………………………………………1,820 Trillion USD
10. Eastern Europe ………………………………………………………………….1,780 Trillion USD

Note: Just one percent of all terrestrials are holding an amount of 40 % of the 140 Trillion USD. Two percent (including the one percent from the first sentence) are holding an amount of 51 % of all belongings of the world, and the richest 10 % are holding an amount of 85 % of all belongings. Backwards 50 % of the poorest people are not even holding 1 % of the world´s capital.
