How Many People Were There When You Were Born?

3.3 billion for me
http://www.npg.org/facts/world_pop_year.htm

The current global population is 7 billion people.

Estimates are that the population might climb to be 8 - 11 billion by 2050

How many people were there when you were born?

I'd never quite realised how quick the population is going up. That's a lot more people in my lifetime and I'm quite young

2,681,114,693

An increase of 4310686226

Must admit, when I saw the question I thought you were asking people how many people were in the room at their birth
