The Centi-Millionaire report is the first global survey of 25,490 USD millionaires in the world, which shows a picture of the growing super-wealthy in technology, finance, multinational CEOs and heirs.
If USD 30 million was considered super-rich in the late 1990s, according to Mr. Juerg Steffen – CEO of Henley & Partners, USD 100 million is considered “super-rich” today.
“Centi-millionaires (only those with USD 100 million or more) are people who are so rich that they don’t have to think about how much money they spend. In fact, the level of wealth they achieve makes them never worry about money,” he said.
According to the report, the US remains home to centi-millionaires worldwide, with 9,730 people accounting for 38% of global millionaires. Followed by China and India with 2,021 people and 1,132 people respectively. England is in 4th place with 968 people, followed by Germany with 966 people, in 5th place.
Despite the small size of the population, Switzerland also ranks 6th in the number of millionaires with net worth of 100 million or more with 808 people. Japan (765 people), Canada (541 people), Australia (463 people) and Russia were in 10th place with 435 people.
