This answer depends on your definition of poor.

Is it a person with no money? Millions of people live in extreme poverty around the world.

Although many magazines publish lists of the world's richest people, none of them publish a list of the world's poorest people. Presumably, because it is almost impossible to know because "poor" can be a subjective thing.

While some people who live in developed countries might be millions in debt, they are still "rich" when it comes to quality of life, health, and access to education and housing. Then again, some people who live in underdeveloped countries might get pennies every day for a wage, but are lead a "rich" life centered around family and not materialistic things.

In 2000, The Register, a British paper, published an article about the world's three poorest men, poking fun at Forbes. See the article in the related link below.

It depends on how you measure 'poor'. It is commonly based on GDP per capita, and 2008 figures give Democratic Republic of Congo as the answer (IMF figures) or Burundi (World Bank figures).

Who is the porest person?

It is impossible to tell who the poorest person in the world is, however a good estimate can be made as to where they would live. Kiribati is the country with the lowest GDP according to the International Monetary Fund and The World Bank making it arguably the poorest country, the poorest person in the world may live there. Burundi reportedly has the lowest GDP/Capita, suggesting that its people may be the poorest in the world. Equally, many people in developed countries live on the streets, making no money and having no savings. It seems likely that the title of "Worlds poorest person" would be a tie between tens of thousands of people across the world, all of whom have nothing.
