Seriously what sort of weird equivalence are you trying to create. Apart from the fact that it doesn't even make sense, it doesn't match in terms of scales (sure a baby is 10 times smaller, whatever that means), we are talking about the richest having 5 million times as much as the average (in the US). So your next thought experiment is "ah let's compare an adult with an individual cell"?

You talk about wealth (and inequality) so much yet you fail to see that food and oxygen is also a form of wealth. We, the humans, in fact, had barter system, food and oxygen before we invented money.

It's difficult to take you seriously.
