The demonstrators use the slogan: ‘We are the 99 per cent’, which refers to the growing difference in wealth between the wealthiest 1 per cent and the rest of the population. However, some of the top millionaires and celebrities in the world are also taking stand, even though they tend to fit in with the 1%. Check out who out of the 1% is fighting back and supporting the protests.
