Oxfam: Men own more wealth than Africa's 326M women

edition.cnn.com

Men such as Bill Gates did not impoverish Africa, and his foundation does substantial work in Africa, described at https://www.gatesfoundation.org/where-we-work/africa-office .

That is true. Kudos to Bill for funding a foundation whose mission is based on the premise that all human lives hold equal value.

How about the rest of the billionaires? Wikidata only contains about 500 of the Oxfam article's 2000+ billionaires. Including Bill, less than 20 of the 500 Wikidata billionares are listed as philanthropists. Bill may be the only of the listed billionaires that's documented to be funding work in Africa.

"22" should be added to the subject line.

"Oxfam says 22 men own more wealth than Africa's 326 million women"
