Mapped: Billionaires by Country of Citizenship in 2025

[PK781]

so what happens in a war type scenario? Do these billionaires flee on personal jets and avoid all the destruction/chaos?
What happens if they get rid of this fiat currency? Do they become commoners all of a sudden?
what if the business empires crash due to war, or bad economy?
i'm talking sort of a WW3 type scenario or a war where alot of escalation takes place.

Also, how much money is parked in the gulf countries and UK by the south-asian corrupts ?? Includes everyone that's corrupt.......I imagine a whole lotta money parked in UK, Canada and Gulf states like UAE, Qatar etc...

The billionaires and their respective private industries are mostly found a burden in a country.....
The government industries of any country is mainly mean friendly for war time scenario

Pakistan and BD both have many billionaires. They are thieves and politicians, it's just that they wealth is ill gotten and undeclared.

Our industries were nationalised by the leader of PPP ZA Bhutto in the 70s. Hence the anomalies

Industrialization of private industries are mostly selective, and is to give breath to these then nationalised industries.

Publicity of bluffs of billionaires, while hiding about their dependence on government's subsidies for their respective private firms, is all a shame

Listen..even the Chinese here are laughing at you for doing that.



Only simple minded country bumpkins who think even cars don't exist believe that

China's total wealth is 63.83 trillion dollars and India's is 12.61 trillion dollars. China is 510% of India.

If there is not much difference between the total wealth of rich Chinese and rich Indians. This means that the gap between the rich and the poor in India is already very serious.

@nahtanbob

how we see the above comparison in PPP terms, in purchasing power parity terms?

i would claim, while comparing 'Gap' between rich-poor also, the above comparison would place India bit closer to China.

the India is a country of nearly 500million middle class and remaining would be compared to LDC countries like Burma-Nepal.
and we have report that "Life Satisfaction rating" of these non-middle class people is better than middle class groups of Asia

How the middle class will play the hero in India's rise as world power

Imagine desi companies easily growing into global biggies supported by vast domestic scale. Growing disposable incomes, along with the rise of the middle class, will make India a consumption powerhouse.

How we see news of post #3? Chinese side couldn't twice Indian billionaire total wealth, measured between $950bn to $1000bn, placed at 3rd number, post#3
We are waiting to see any count of billionaire from Pakistan -Bangladesh,

The top cities in Asia for billionaires, according to recent rankings, are Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Beijing, with Mumbai and New Delhi also ranking high. The specific order can vary between reports, but these cities consistently appear at the top due to their status as major economic and financial hubs in China, India, and a special administrative region of China.

Where do the world's billionaires live? We look at the top nine countries for billionaires by citizenship, using this map.

www.visualcapitalist.com

Mapped: Billionaires by Country of Citizenship in 2025​

In 2025, there are over 3,000 billionaires globally.

While you can find billionaires from Albania to Zimbabwe, the vast majority of them live in a few select countries and hubs.

In fact, about 73% of them live in just the nine countries on this map from Statista, which pulls data from the Forbes World Billionaires List.

Billionaires by Country​

The below table breaks down billionaires in the top nine countries globally.

View attachment 114806

The United States and China combine for 1,416 billionaires, which is just short of half of the global total.

In the next tier, there are three other countries with 100+ billionaires: India (205), Germany (171), and Russia (141).

Perhaps surprisingly, Canada comes in sixth place with 76 billionaires. This puts the Great White North ahead of countries like Italy, Brazil, the UK, France, Switzerland, Singapore, or Australia.

Billionaire Migration​

With virtually unlimited resources at their disposal, the world’s ultra-wealthy can relocate with ease—often doing so to optimize for business, lifestyle, or legacy planning.

Amid rising geopolitical tensions, trade wars, and market volatility, high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) are increasingly reassessing their home bases. Some seek stable jurisdictions with favorable tax regimes, while others prioritize countries offering investor visas, asset protection, or stronger rule of law.

Tariffs and capital controls can also influence where the wealthy choose to live or operate. As global uncertainty grows, strategic migration could become a hedge—allowing billionaires to future-proof both their wealth and personal security.

India’s hopes of being on friendly terms with Trump 2.0 were dashed when the U.S. slapped 50% tariffs on the country. To soften the blow, the Indian government announced sweeping reductions in the goods and services tax in September to boost consumption by making a range of items, including cars, cheaper. But a weaker rupee and a 3% decline in the benchmark Sensex since we last measured fortunes resulted in a 9% erosion in combined wealth to $1 trillion.

It's surprising that two 400 billion USD GDP countries don't have a single Billionaire.

India with 4 trillion USD economy has 205 Billionaires, I was expecting atleast 10 from Bangladesh and Pakistan

GDP on PPP with good Life Satisfaction rating is the main issue, we reject GDP comparison on exchange rate term

 

[harpy1]

It's no coincidence that the most billionaires are from USA china and India
IE the countries with the biggest Gdps in the world ...
They provide revenue and jobs to millions of citizens

We have news that the "Government" industries of Bangladesh have outperformed industries of all Christian-Muslim nations now, but they find only Indonesia and the Pakistan are above them.

The top cities in Asia for billionaires, according to recent rankings, are Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Beijing, with Mumbai and New Delhi also ranking high. The specific order can vary between reports, but these cities consistently appear at the top due to their status as major economic and financial hubs in China, India, and a special administrative region of China.

In traditional Chinese thinking, "displaying personal wealth" is considered a mistake. Most Chinese people don't publicly disclose their wealth. We typically use many methods to hide it. Therefore, any media statistics on China's wealthy are severely biased.

The Hurun Rich List encountered significant resistance when conducting its statistical work in China. They themselves admit that their wealth ranking is merely a reference and their data is highly inaccurate.

Generally, Chinese people tend to believe that:
Shenzhen has the most young billionaires. They are accustomed to publicly disclosing their wealth. However, the vast majority of top billionaires' wealth comes from the stock market or companies, not personal cash assets. Some top billionaires may have negative net worth.
Shanghai has the most old-school billionaires. They rarely disclose their wealth, but their lifestyles are very affluent, making them easily observable. Most of these billionaires have enormous cash assets.
Beijing has the most mysterious billionaires. They go to great lengths to hide their wealth and live very discreetly, making them completely unobservable to the outside world. Mysterious.

As for China as a whole, if we only look at personal net worth, then the number of billionaires in China is not high. However, the number of people in China's middle class (with net assets of 1 million to 10 million yuan) is enormous. In the eyes of modern Chinese people, this group is just an ordinary person and not a wealthy person at all.
My net worth is approximately 2-3 million RMB. But I can still only afford to smoke Hongtashan cigarettes, which cost 13 RMB a pack. In a small third-tier city in China, I'm just an ordinary person.

If you want to study wealth, you should look at the Fortune Global 500 list. That's where the super-rich congregate.

It's interesting that we find no cities from Japan, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan in top ten Asian cities of this list, post#51

Here, We have news that these certain 4 countries have an inferior "Life Satisfaction rating than even a LDC country, the Burma

Mumbai overtakes Beijing to become Asia's billionaire capital for the first time

Mumbai is now the Asian capital with the most number of billionaires, according to Hurun Research Institute's global rich list.

As of April 2025, Mumbai dropped to the 6th position globally in the Forbes billionaire list, down from 4th place the previous year, with a total of "67 billionaires" holding a combined net worth of $349 billion. Despite losing two spots due to a slight dip in numbers, Mumbai remains India's primary billionaire hub.
