The world’s (known) billionaire population has grown by over 7% in the past year to 2,325. Of that, 103 of them live in New York and 571 in the USA. 8 of the TOP 20 Cities are now in Asia. 81% of billionaires are self-made and the bulk of them are still actively working. Their total net worth is over $7 trillion, larger than the world third largest GDP (Japan).
