Who wants to be a billionaire?
Why does Africa have so few billionaires? - Starter
If wealthy regions like North America and Europe have the most billionaires, then does this mean Africa with only five billionaires is generally poorer?
Why might this be the case that some regions are poorer than others?
Look at the environmental challenges photographs
Do you think any of these photo help to explain why some regions of the world lag behind others in the number of billionaires and wealth that they are able to create?
Think about the natural environment - climate, living things, water, other natural resources, disasters. Are there any other factors? Think historical, social and economic.
Look again at the challenges images.
These images were actually all taken in the USA - the richest country in the world with over 400 billionaires!
So although environmental factors can affect generation of wealth, it is often other political and historical factors that have the largest impact on a regions wealth and development.
