If you look at countries with highest number of billionaires you would get a different answer.  Even if you search richest countries  in the world, the answer most likely is going to be different.

But, are talking about population per billionaire. Which means total population divided by number of billionaires. Lets assume a philanthropic world where all these billionaires distribute their wealth evenly among people of their countries. Interestingly,  if that happens then nobody would die of hunger in this world.
