Incredible photos give a totally unexpected perspective into how the 1% lives

A study conducted by Oxfam and released this year shows that just eight men, with a combined net worth of $426 billion, share the same amount of wealth as the poorest half of the world.
In his book and traveling gallery show, "1% Privilege in a Time of Global Inequality," curator and photo editor Myles Little explores the complex issue of wealth inequality by showing a collection of work from various photographers.
"I want people to start a conversation about economic fairness, about our priorities, and about our values as a society," he told Business Insider. "Are we celebrating the right heroes? Are we treating the right people well? Or are our sympathies misguided?"
These are the questions he hopes viewers of his show contemplate as they get an exclusive look into the lives of the super rich.
We spoke to Little about the project and how it came together.
