MADRID - Spain's three wealthiest people 'weigh' economically as the poorest 30% of the population, according to a report on inequality in the country published Monday by Oxfam.

The humanitarian organization said that Spain is today the second country in the EU with the highest economic inequality, after Cyprus.

The wealthiest were listed as the founder of Inditex (Zara) Amancio Ortega, daughter Sandra Ortega and the president of Mercadona Juan Roig, who have the same wealth as 14.2 million citizens, a population equaling that of Catalonia and Madrid put together.

Moreover, the country's 10% wealthiest own 56.2% of the total wealth. In other words, 4.2 million of Spanish citizens own like 42.6 million- The grave economic crisis of the past few years has widened the gap.

A reported 30% of the poorest saw their revenues drop by 33.4% while those of the three richest grew 3%. Over the past year, 7,000 Spanish nationals became millionaires (20 a day) while Oxfam revealed that 25% of the population is below the poverty line.
