Everyone has heard about Forbes magazine, and there are many who want to get into its ratings. But this time, based on the magazine’s data, Savills didn’t calculate the status of specific businessmen, but made a rating of cities. And, amazingly enough, Moscow took third place in it. The rating was based on the number of dollar billionaires in the metropolis.
Rating of megacities
According to the study, 71 people live in the capital of Russia, whose fortune exceeds $ 1 billion. New York ranked first, with 85 billionaires living there.
And Hong Kong overtook Moscow by only 8 people. The fourth place in the ranking is occupied by Beijing, there are 61 billionaires, and in the fifth London, in the capital of Great Britain, only 55 people with this state live.
Additional study data
According to Savills, a greater number of billionaires live exactly where there is premium housing. After all, besides the fact that they combine social and cultural attractiveness, these buildings attract true talents. It is also worth considering that these same cities are leaders in the ranking with the most expensive housing.
In the global real estate market, billionaires play a very important role. After all, their investments and interest, the search for housing for personal residence and other actions set the trend for development and pricing.
It is also worth noting that the majority of the world's richest people, and this is 89 percent of the total, are men. And 83 percent of them are married and have an average of three children. It is also interesting to know that only 33 percent of them have inherited their wealth. The remaining 67 percent achieved everything themselves.
According to information from the world-famous Forbes magazine, this year the fortune of all the rich in the world amounted to 8.7 trillion dollars. And this is lower than it was last year.
According to experts, such a decrease from 9.1 to 8.7 trillion dollars occurred due to the current economic uncertainty and instability in financial markets around the world.
