Sovereign Wealth Funds Explained

A sovereign wealth fund is a state-owned investment fund that consists of money generated by the government. The money often comes from the government's surplus reserves and can be used the benefit the country's economy and its citizens. Popular sources for funds include money from state-owned natural resources like oil and minerals, foreign currency operations, trade surpluses, transfer payments, and so on.

I have an Idea. As of 2023, ExxonMobil's proved liquid reserves, including oil sands, were about 11.2 billion barrels. When combined with their natural gas reserves, their total oil-equivalent reserves were 16.9 billion barrels Shell reported nearly 9.8 billion barrels of oil equivalent oil and gas reserves as of December 31, 2023. Most were listed under subsidiaries, at 8.3 billion barrels. The figure included both proved and undeveloped reserves. Let's take their assets. and make USA sovereign wealth fund.. that will pay us UBI... maybe 500 bucks per month to start it off?

The first sovereign wealth fund was technically France's Caisse des dépôts et consignations, created in 1816, but great video!
