How much does it cost to travel around the world?

Question

I know it depends on many factors but I'd love to have an estimate. I'll be travelling for about a year visiting 25 countries. Below I have listed the countries I'm going including how long I'll be staying in each country.

Iraq - 4 weeks
Iran - 2 weeks
Saudi Arabia - 3 weeks
Syria - 2 weeks
Turkey - 2 weeks
Palestine - 2 weeks
Pakistan - 4 weeks
Dubai - 2 weeks
Thailand - 2 weeks
Japan - 2 weeks
China - 2 weeks
Indonesia - 2 weeks
Malaysia - 2 weeks

Egypt - 2 weeks
South Africa - 4 weeks

France - 2 weeks
Italy - 2 weeks
Spain - 2 weeks
Switzerland - 2 weeks

Australia - 2 weeks
New Zealand - 2 weeks

USA - 4 weeks
Jamaica - 2 weeks

Venezuela - 2 weeks
Brazil - 2 weeks

I think I'll need about £35K for everything although I'd love to cut down. This amount includes the flights, packing up and travel insurance (basically everything I need before leaving) which I think should be about £5K. I don't fancy staying at cheap unsafe hostels so I'll be staying at reasonably priced secure hotels. I won't be working while I'm there as it's really meant to be a holiday for me to relax. I don't drink or smoke so I won't need to spend anything on that. What do you guys think? How much do I need? Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

If you're going to Iraq, that is going to cost you alot extra because you need security when travelling through baghdad and other places, otherwise your head would be chopped off and shown on the internet by islamic terrorist groups !!!!
