Despite a gloomy economic scenario, there was room for wealth creation in 2012.
The number of people with $30 million or more in net assets (referred to throughout this report as HNWIs) rose by 5 per cent last year, or nearly 8,700, according to data by Wealth-X, a wealth intelligence firm.
The combined wealth held by HNWIs also grew by 2 per cent, or $566 billion, to just over $26 trillion in 2012.
Over the next 10 years, 95,000 people are forecast to break the $30 million wealth barrier – a cumulative 50% rise, which will take the total number of HNWIs across the globe to around 285,665.
The number of HNWIs in India is expected to more than double over the next 10 years, rising by 137 per cent in Mumbai alone.
This will give India - along with China and Japan - the highest number of HNWIs in Asia by 2022, says a Knight Frank report.
