Hong Kong Ranks Among Top 10 as Global Centi-Millionaire Count Reaches 29,350, Up 54%

As of September 19, 2024, a recent report by Henley & Partners reveals that the global population of centi-millionaires has surged to an impressive total of 29,350, marking a 54% increase over the past decade. This growth highlights a significant concentration of wealth in the United States and China, overshadowing the more modest gains seen in Europe.

The report notes that both America and China have contributed substantially to this wealth increase, with China experiencing a remarkable 108% rise in its centi-millionaire count, while the U.S. reported an 81% increase. In contrast, Europe has only seen a 26% growth in its centi-millionaire population during the same period.


Among the cities leading this trend, New York City tops the list with 744 centi-millionaires. However, the upcoming U.S. presidential elections may impact its appeal to these ultra-wealthy individuals.


Hong Kong stands out in Asia, ranking 8th globally with 320 centi-millionaires. Projections indicate that both Hong Kong and Singapore could see their populations of ultra-wealthy individuals more than double by 2040, driven by their dynamic economies, political stability, and favorable business environments.


While London maintains its 4th place with 370 centi-millionaires, its growth outlook appears less promising compared to the rapidly expanding financial centers in Asia and the Middle East. Cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and emerging markets such as Riyadh and Bengaluru are expected to witness significant increases in their centi-millionaire populations, indicating a shift in wealth accumulation patterns.


This trend reflects a broader strategy among the world’s wealthiest individuals to diversify their residences and citizenships, aiming for enhanced access and security across different global jurisdictions.


全球百萬富翁人數達29,350人,成長54%,香港躋身前十


截至 2024 年 9 月 19 日,Henley & Partners 最近的一份報告顯示,全球百萬富翁人數已激增至令人印象深刻的 29,350 人,在過去十年中增長了 54%。 這一成長凸顯了財富顯著集中在美國和中國,掩蓋了歐洲較為溫和的成長。


報告指出,美國和中國都對財富成長做出了重大貢獻,其中中國的百萬富翁數量顯著增加了 108%,而美國則增加了 81%。 相較之下,同期歐洲的百萬富翁人口僅增加了 26%。


在引領這一趨勢的城市中,紐約市以 744 名百萬富翁名列榜首。 然而,即將到來的美國總統選舉可能會影響其對這些超級富豪的吸引力。


香港在亞洲脫穎而出,擁有 320 位百萬富翁,在全球排名第八。 預測表明,在充滿活力的經濟、政治穩定和有利的商業環境的推動下,到 2040 年,香港和新加坡的超級富豪人數可能會增加一倍以上。


儘管倫敦以 370 百萬富翁保持第四位,但與亞洲和中東快速擴張的金融中心相比,其成長前景似乎不太樂觀。 杜拜、阿布達比等城市以及利雅德和班加羅爾等新興市場的百萬富翁人口預計將大幅增加,這表明財富累積模式的轉變。


這一趨勢反映了世界上最富有的個人實現居住和公民身份多元化的更廣泛策略,旨在增強全球不同司法管轄區的准入和安全性。
