In addition to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, the world's rich man has added a hundred billion dollars to its recent list. He is the chief executive of LVMH, the world's largest luxury goods group.
Bernard Arnault's rise to the ranks of the multi-billionaires is particularly noteworthy because he and the other two multi-millionaires rely on the path, logistics and technology to become rich, is based on the luxury business accumulated wealth. It's special. What are luxury items? Simply put, it's what people want, but not what people need.
When a person's basic "needs" are met, often in order to enjoy and other different reasons, and "want" to have a lot of things. LVMH this large group under many products, just to meet the needs of many people.
LVMH Group you may not have heard of it, but brand-name bags LV, Christian Dior, Loewe, Givenchy, Celine…. You should have heard that they all belong to this group. Even the American Coach bag was acquired by them.
In addition to a variety of designer bags, LVMH Group's luxury items also include cosmetics, clothing, fashion accessories, jewelry, perfumes, watches, and famous wines. These products belong to 62 sub -groups operating, can be described as a large system, like a luxury empire.
The world's various types of luxury items are incalculable, but the CEO of LVMH alone is worth more than 100 billion Dollars, which shows that the world's consumption of luxury items is very amazing and unimaginable.
How much is it worth $100 billion? For us as a person in general, it's hard to imagine. However, if these people are described as enemies, not too much. According to the International Monetary Fund in 2016, with $100 billion in assets, it ranks 60th out of 224 countries around the world.
That is, if a person has a fortune of $100 billion, in fact has won 164 countries around the world, which includes Ukraine, Myanmar, Morocco, Sudan, and Kenya and so on.
Undeniably, the wealth of many luxury groups in the world, is the general public in order to meet the needs of ordinary life, the pursuit of "wanted material life" created.
But we also know that, in fact, billions of people on Earth live in very different material conditions. Therefore, it is clear that not everyone can pursue the luxury items they want. Many people work hard all day, sweaty back, even to hold three meals to eat and feed the rice bowl have problems, not to mention other pursuits.
The two accompanying images of this article are the all-out priests of All Arise Shine, who recently handed out slippers in The Pansuang, near the Indian border, in the northern Myanmar state of Kachin, to the local Aka population. A pair of slippers, a few dollars, many people do not have the ability to buy. Look at a lot of kids barefoot.
According to the 2015 World Bank, about 800 million people live below the poverty line, or earnings per day, below $1.25. 800 million people make up about 10% of the world's population. The World Bank also shows that there are about 3.5 billion people (about 50 percent) in the world, struggling to live every day.
Poverty is a global problem, caused by different causes from region to region, is also extremely complex, not one can solve. Poverty is everywhere, not in backward regions or poor countries, even in highly developing countries.
So, whether you and I live in London, New York, Los Angeles, Taipei, Hong Kong, Beijing, or Shanghai, people living in extreme poverty may be around us, but we often turn a blind eye.
As human beings, we understand that we are small, very limited, and cannot solve all kinds of poverty. But that doesn't mean we have to turn a blind eye, or be cold enough to ignore it.
True, we enjoy the hard work in the sun, eat and drink happy, this is a matter of course. Satisfying the inner desire, buying luxury items, whether in pursuit of taste, or for the sake of enjoyment of life, is also understandable.
However, when we enjoy the rich and full food in the "harvest of life", the pursuit of a variety of luxury objects (Luxury Variety, LV), can also have a greater vision of life (Luxury View, LV), willing to enjoy their own, deliberately left "two wheat spikes", To the poor who are extremely vulnerable, and few people are picking up their voices (Little Voice, LV)? Bless you.
