The wealth of Ireland's nine billionaires has increased by €15.55 billion since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a new report by Oxfam.

The 55% increase brings the asset pile of the country’s richest individuals to €51 billion. However, the charity also points out that the most recent figures show 691,587 people in Ireland are experiencing deprivation and 204,710 of these are children.

Globally the charity says the wealth of the world’s billionaires rose more in the first two years of the Covid-19 pandemic than it did the previous 23 years combined.

The growth is such that the total wealth of billionaires all over the world is now equivalent to 13.9% of global GDP, up from 4.4% in 2000.

Amazon could end N.J. warehouse leases as online shopping slows, sources say

TRENTON, N.J. - Amazon is planning to sublease some of its warehouse space now that the pandemic-fueled surge in online shopping, which helped the e-commerce giant rake in soaring profits in the past two years, has eased.Subleasing allows the company to "relieve the financial obligations associated with an existing building that no longer meets" its needs, Amazon spokesperson Alisa Carroll said.Carroll didn’t disclose how much space the company plans to sublet. But citing anonymous sources, Bloomberg News and The Wall Street Journal reported earlier that the retailer would sublease at least 10 million square feet of space and could end more of its leases in states including New York, New Jersey and California.Seattle-based Amazon doubled the size of its operations during the pandemic, adding more warehouses and workers to keep up with demand from homebound consumers who felt more comfortable buying things online.
