According to Oxfam:

Struggling to get my head around this. Mainly because wealth is measured in US$ which is pretty abstract for many of those 3.5 billion.
For example - because I own a house in UK, I'm instantly richer (according to these figures) than someone with a similar sized house in half the world.

But even so - still a completely bizarre stat.
