Without any further fanfare, here are the 14 countries throughout the world that are home to the most billionaires:
14. Singapore – 21 Billionaires
13. Spain – 25 Billionaires
12. Turkey – 29 Billionaires
11. Japan – 33 Billionaires
10. Switzerland – 35 Billionaires
9. France – 39 Billionaires
8. Italy – 42 Billionaires
7. United Kingdom – 55 Billionaires
6. Hong Kong – 69 Billionaires
5. Russia – 96 Billionaires
4. India – 100 Billionaires
3. Germany – 117 Billionaires
2. China – 318 Billionaires
1. United States – 563 Billionaires
So, as you can see, the US has a healthy lead of more than 200 billionaires more than China in the second place slot. But if China and India continue to gestate billionaires at current rates, it’s only a matter of time before Asia overtakes North America on lists like this one. Still, even with present trends pointing where they are, lumping in more than one country to compete with the US is a bit of a cheat, so American dominance in this particular field is probably safe for the next decade or so at least. But if you live in the United States and were thinking about getting into the billionaire game, why not do it out of patriotism, just to be on the safe side?
