What is the statistics for the distribution of global wealth for 2005 or 2006?

I got one that quoted 5% of the world’s population owns 90% of the world’s wealth, but they failed to cite their source(s). I need an actual percentage of the global population that owns “x%” amount of the global wealth. I would like it to be as current as possible. Please, also tell me the source where you got the information from, because I will be citing it in a paper I am writing.





Thanks, I really need this information. It’s really hard to find specific information regarding this issue on an internet search engine. Just try it for your self, or maybe I’m typing in the wrong “key words” for the search.
