that’s what richest mean, wealthier than everyone else..
Creating a tax on wealth ….. the 1% will just hide it elsewhere and it’s gonna be the middle earners that suffer. Much the same as how it is right now . The small and medium sized businesses pay the most taxes and Corp tax . This country makes no effort to encourage small business . The ordinary people pick up the tab as always
Who? Am I missing the names somewhere in the article?
These metrics are usually bull because people won’t have anything in the way of assets until their mid 30s
None of these people made their money in Ireland or live in Ireland.
Is there a country in the world where you couldn’t say something similar?
And if we just decided to take their 15 billian that would be less than 15% of what the government spend in a year anyway. While the government has a surplus of 6 billion anyways.
Wtf do these CEO’s actually do that they get away with these wages like what expert skills do they have that would justify such a wage?
Wasn’t it some guy in Kildare running a national charity who was found to have committed vast fraud and his wife and son were using their company credit cards like they were Richie rich buying cars and houses etc. and zero oversight because they are a charity 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
And? It’s an open and free market, make what you can.
Deport immediately.
The top 2 people in any statistic always have more than the bottom 50%.
That’s normal distribution..
Not again… This Oxfam method of calculation is so stupid. It’s shows that Afghan ship herder has more wrath than 10% of US citizens.
“Top two chess players earn more than the bottom 50%”.
“Top two drivers in the world earn more than bottom 50%”.
This is consistent across everything resource related?
Well they wouldn’t be very rich if they didn’t
Remember for years, the wealthiest person in Ireland was John Dorrance, the Campbells Soup heir. He was no.1 on the list because he had a Irish passport (we used to sell them to the highest bidder in the 90s).
And the Weston family of Brown Thomas always featured, Candian-Irish.
The rich lists are always skewed.
There is a finite amount of wealth in the world and if it’s all gathered up by a few individuals then what will be left?
Suck it up peasants I earned it through hard work and exploitation.
Interesting that most of the comments appear to be getting knickers in a twist trying to defend the ultra-wealthy
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The middle class is dwindling and soon will be nonexistent. These super rich make their personal wealth on the backs of the middle class and poor and use any tax loophole to increase their wealth.

Oxfam’s CEO earning 120k a year and commenting on the “system” is wild. Absolute melt.
Oxfam uses a [famously dodgy methodology](https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/1/22/18192774/oxfam-inequality-report-2019-davos-wealth) ([more here](https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/oxfam-serves-up-a-lot-of-dodgy-statistics)) where the poorest people in society are property investors with negative equity, amongst many, many other problems.
Volunteered in oxfam years ago and can say staff need to be paid like heads of charity’s are. People’s time is expensive
Oxfam: irelands two richest men are earning too much
