Top 10 Countries With The Highest Number Of Billionaires (in US$) in The World by Nobody: 12:34pm On Jan 21, 2013 |
Where the Mega-Rich Live Despite global economic uncertainties, the euro zone debt crisis, and fears of a hard landing in China, the mega-rich — the one percent of the one percent — have had a great year. The world’s billionaire club has added to its numbers and increased its wealth even as equity, currency, and commodity markets have suffered one of their most volatile periods. The number of billionaires worldwide grew 9.4 percent to 2,160, expanding their wealth by 14 percent to $6.19 trillion — a $760 billion jump over the previous year, according to research firm Wealth-X. Wealth creation among billionaires did vary according to regions, depending on the extent of the economic slowdown in their part of the world. The overall wealth of the larger group of ultra-high-net-worth individuals, those worth $30 million and more, dropped nearly 2 percent this year. Here is a list of the top 10 countries with the most billionaires for the period between August 2011 and July 31, 2012 compiled by Wealth-X. Yeah, I love talking about the super-rich...you know why...*winks*...let's leave that for another day, below is the complete list, enjoy! 10. Canada In case you're wondering how I got the chart, oh yeah, remember I told you about my love for CNBC News? I am always glued to CNBC, CCTV and Reuters... But wait a minute, where are my African nations and their oil-rich middle eastern nations on that list? Oh my gosh! This goes a long way in telling us that wealth is not really by natural resources, instead, it makes a nation lazy, dull and dependent on natural resources than industrialization.

Be careful with these figures 'cause Canada is a country where getting rich is freaking difficut. This country is a tax-junky monster ruled by hidden communists who will rip you off to fund social programs. When you are a middle class guy you will be stuck in for ever you and all your descendants. |

panafrican: Been there, seen it.This is serious...but even in midst of that, the good guys are still fetching their water in large quantities...and I don't think one can be that wealthy by working for someone; it requires boldness to face entrepreneurship and personal development. I am not doubting you though, have heard abt that.... |
