Singapore is 10th city in the world with the most billionaires

Eight Asian cities are in the top 20.

There are 32 billionaires breathing and living in Singapore as of the moment, a small fraction of the world’s 2,325 billionaires.

A recent report by WealthX reveals that New York houses 103 billionaires, making it the city with the most number of billionaires globally. Singapore, meanwhile, is a distant 10th from close economic rival Hong Kong, which garnered 3rd spot with 82 billionaires.

According to WealthX, billionaire hotspots exist in part because billionaires have increasingly internationally diversified business interests. Many billionaires have registered their business in a location that is neither their home country nor where their main business was initially founded.

The report says that here are 5.8 billionaires per million people in Singapore, and that 65.6% of these billionaires are foreign-born. The total wealth of Singapore’s billionaires in 2014 amount to US$65b, up a billion dollars from 2013.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
