No, 76.000.000.000.

Again no, it's $233,222.94 or €219,554.71 per capita, not 1000 times as much.

It isn't all that surprising to me that a site that confuses
billion-10^9 with billion-10^12 gets the summary math completely
wrong. It's not even wrong, it's just fucked up. Even if you accepted
the net worths as multiples of 10^12, how do you multiply that by 67
to get something of the order of 10^26?
But somehow the site still gets the "billion" of world population
right: now about 7.5*10^9
This list is so wrong it amounts to irresponsible anti-rich
propaganda. It's possible to make the point that Bill Gates and Warren
Buffet are unreasonably far removed from ordinary people in wealth
without throwing in random extra factors of 10.
