See the Top 10 Countries with Highest Number of Billionaires
According to the World bankās statistics, 48.7% of the global population live in poverty. Hence, it is often interesting to have a look at those who constitute less than 1% of the global population but control a greater part of its wealth- the dollar billionaires.
According to CEOWORLD magazine, Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos is currently the richest man in the world, with an estimated net worth of $134 billion. However, we are not focusing on the list of richest people in the world today but more on the countries that have the highest number of billionaires. This can help us with insights into how big their economies are and also how well they are doing. Afterall, being a billionaire in dollars is not easy, it takes a lot of business acumen and perhaps a certain kind of ruthlessness to achieve it.
Here is the list of the top 10 countries in the world with highest number of billionaires as compiled by the Spectator Index.
