Rich vs. Poor?

Question

There are many people in the world that have wealth beyond their needs, if we shared out all the wealth in the world between everyone equally how much would each person receive? Also why does the average joe get asked for donating to this and that when one wealthy person's donation would exceed a million average joes donations? Any thoughts? I am not saving the average joe should donate because some one else has but if wealthy people were to donate at a percent that your average joe would then that would encourage more donations.
