uh it's more like the millions honestly, but the low millions. if you consider all the economies in the world, and all of the people within those who own means of production or some kind of rent seeking thing like property, it's a lot. if you include the petite bourgeoisie then it's tens to hundreds of millions. and then ofc things get complex with how we define own the means of production, with stocks and shareholders, and investment and things, it's not like there's 1 ultra rich baron who owns a thing outright, right? it's all these fractions of ownership that does pay out. so, it's kind of a very complex question that you could answer in many ways depending on how you look at it
well on the one hand capital has ofc accumulated more and more. but then you have post colonial states with their own national bourgeoisie, places like India for instance that would have had all that shit owned by Brits before. then you have the exponential population growth and economic growth in that time. so there's a lot of factors that feed into it going up or down, it's a very complex and broad thing
but, if I had to ballpark it, I'd say about 5-10% of the global population if you want to go real far with it. but at the least, it's still tens of millions probably
