NOTE This is from Oxfam, a British charity. That means when they say “trillionaire”, they don’t mean $1,000,000,000, they mean $1,000,000,000,000, or what North Americans would call a quadrillionaire!
As a North American, I don’t think $1,000,000,000,000 is a quadrillion. It’s 1x10^12, which is 1 trillion. 1 quadrillion is 1x10^15, or $1,000,000,000,000,000.

Thanks for the correction, I deleted my original comment because it was incorrect and misleading.
