Once upon a time there lived a noble robber Robin Hood. He robbed the rich and gave money to the poor. Apparently, inspired by this legend, experts at Bloomberg Robin Hood rating, also known as the Hoover index. He compares the condition of the richest person in each country with the expenses of his (or her) government.

The 2018 Robin Hood Index estimates how long “funding” - in other words, the money of the richest of citizens donated to the government - can help pay for government spending.

To compile the list, Bloomberg experts selected 49 countries with different political regimes and types of expenses and found out which of the citizens of these countries own the largest capital.

Then, the net worth of these billionaires at the end of December last year was compared with the daily cost of managing each country. The Robin Hood list includes only 4 women - from Angola, Australia, Chile and the Netherlands.

Robin Hood Index 2018 (Hoover index)

Here is a complete list of potential Robin Hoods of our time.

It turned out that the most expensive governments in the world are Japanese, Polish, American and Chinese. Even the “king of Aliexpress," Jack Ma, with his 47.8 billion dollars, could not save the Chinese Communist Party for more than four days. Japanese and Polish multimillionaires would last as long.

And Jeff Bezos, whose fortune is estimated at $ 99 billion, would have paid America's government spending for only 5 days.

The best possible Robin Hood in the CIS countries was a resident of Georgia Bidzina Ivanishvili. Thanks to his condition, Georgia would be able to "stay afloat" 430 days. However, the record for the duration of the maintenance of the government (in theory) belongs to the resident of Cyprus, John Fredricksen. Thanks to him, the country could live the same life for 441 days.

The fortune of the Russian businessman Alexei Mordashov would be enough to pay all the expenses of Russia for 14 days. Ukraine would have lasted a little longer - 36 days if Rinat Akhmetov had given all his wealth to the treasury. But Belarus was not included in the list.
