If all the black people in the US suddenly gained $1 trillion in wealth, how much wealth would be left in the hands of white people?

**This is a hypothetical scenario for the sake of illustration.**<br><br>Today, in the US, there are approx 38 million black people. Of the remaining 310 million people, most (60-70%) are white.<br><br>So if all black people had $1 trillion in wealth, that's $1,000,000,000,000 \* 38,000,000 = 38 * 10^17 dollars per black person, or $38,000,000,000,000 per black person.<br><br>Of course there's not that much wealth in the world. There's only about 15.9 trillion dollars in the US. The entire world only has about 360 trillion dollars. So if every black person had one trillion dollars, that would be 38 trillion dollars.<br><br>That leaves 360 - 38 = 322 trillion. 322 trillion dollars, divided by 310 million people, is 1 trillion dollars per person.<br><br>So the 310 million people who are not black would each have 1 trillion dollars. Which is exactly what each black person would have, in this scenario.
