'Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary responded to a report that the 85 richest people in the world currently have as much wealth as the bottom half of the world's population, calling it "fantastic news."

Oxfam reported Wednesday that the 85 richest people on the planet have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion people, half the world's population — a sobering and troubling fact to anyone with even a shred of a soul. Luckily, Kevin O'Leary doesn't have to worry about that.

The CBC News Network host and business commentator was confronted with this statistic on Monday's Lang & O'Leary Exchange, and his reaction was one of jubilation.

"It's fantastic," O'Leary told his co-host Amanda Lang.

According to this clown, half the planet living in abject poverty while a few dozen people live in obscene opulence is something to celebrate. After all, it "inspires everybody, gets them motivation to look up to the one per cent and say, 'I want to become one of those people, I want to fight to the get up to the top.'"
