    i was reading some useless facts in a magazine, and i came accross this one:
    If the entire population of Earth was reducted to exactly 100 people, half of the world's currency would be held by six individuals.

    can someone explain this to me?

    That 6% of the world's population own half of all the money in existence.
    Meaning, there are a lot of poor people.

    Yeah, what Commy said :p
    Not necessarily a lot of poor people, just a couple of super-duper rich people will also do the job :D
