Where Centi-Millionaires Live
The amount needed to qualify as “super-wealthy” has increased dramatically over the past ten years, from $30 million in the late 1990s to $100 million today. Over the last ten years, the number of centi-millionaires has increased by more than fifty percent.
New York is the richest state, with 744 people owning $100 million or more. With 675, the Bay Area, which includes Silicon Valley and San Francisco, comes in second.
Over the following ten years, it is anticipated that the ultra-wealthy populations of both cities will continue to increase by more than 50%. Featuring four cities, the US tops the list. Paris and London in Europe and Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Beijing in Asia are also included in the ranking.
