#RuleOfTheRich

The model It simulates what happens when entire budgets grow — including health, education, infrastructure, and even defence.

Read our EQUALS blogs more detail about how the tracker works: www.equals.ink/p/the-number...

These numbers come from the GRADE model, built by researchers at St Andrews and Leicester. It shows how changes in government revenue affect Sustainable Development Goals across nearly every country.
st-andrews.ac.uk/~grade/simul...

For $1 billion in additional government revenue, countries could deliver on average:
💧 140,140 people gaining basic water access
📚 258,563 more children in school
💡 1,241,472 more people with electricity
🏥 31,616 more nurses
👩‍🏫 11,855 more teachers
…plus improvements across the whole budget.

At every extra billion on the tracker, the site shows what that money could buy.
For example:
🏰 $1B = Buckingham Palace
🍾 $25B = Fill 200 Olympic swimming pools with champagne
🖼️ $35B = All the art in the Louvre
(Obviously, none of these are actually for sale!)

How much have billionaires made during Davos this week? 👀💸
oxfam.org/en/oxfam-bil...

Oxfam just launched a new tool that counts billionaire wealth gains during #Davos — and the numbers are… wild.

🧵👇

Just in 10 days into 2026, the richest 1% have already burned their entire carbon budget. The top 0.1% did it by Jan 3.

The bottom half of the world emits so little it could go years without passing the same threshold.

🗳️Democracy is shrinking
A thread 🧵👇

Education spending per child in Sub-Saharan Africa is 40× lower than in the Global North — but not by choice.

It’s what happens when countries are forced to send more money to rich countries through debt & unequal financial rules. This is extraction.
