The 5 Best Countries for Billionaires
Business Insider revealed a list of the top 15 countries with the most billionaires. Even though billionaires can pretty much choose to live wherever they want to in the world, it seems like most of them prefer the same few places.
5. Russia (101 billionaires)
Russia is the only country on this list to see a decrease in billionaires, from 110 in 2013 to 101 in 2018.
4. India (119 billionaires)
In the last five years, India has seen a large increase of 116% to the number of billionaires living in its cities. Mumbai is the most favored city amongst billionaires in the country, according to The Times of India.
3. Germany (123 billionaires)
Germany is Europe's largest economy, and has its largest number of billionaires too. The 11 richest Germans are worth a combined $197 billion
2. China (373 billionaires)
China's booming economy produced a 206% increase in the number of billionaires there within just five years. China's richest man is Alibaba founder Jack Ma, with a net worth of $39 billion.
1. United States (585 billionaires)
With the likes of Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, totaling a net worth of almost $300 billion, it is no surprise the US is home to so many high-net-worth individuals.
