新加坡的生活成本在全球城市中名列前茅,同时也深受富人的青睐。
Henley&Partners周二发布的一份报告(其中引用了《新世界财富》的数据)称,在全球50大“亿万富翁”(指拥有1亿美元或以上可投资流动资产的个人)城市排名中,新加坡位列第六。报告指出,全球有29,350名亿万富翁,而新加坡则拥有336名。
Henley&Partners是一家为富人提供投资管理服务的公司,尤其是帮助客户获取永久居留权或公民身份。该公司指出,在50大城市中,近三分之二提供投资移民计划。
亿万富翁人数增多可能是件好事。报告援引《新世界财富》研究负责人Andrew Amoils的话说,亿万富翁创办的企业“对中产阶级有显著的溢出效应”,因为这些企业会在其所在国创造大量高薪职位。报告还指出,大部分《财富》美国500强或主要股指企业,都是由后来成为亿万富翁的个人创立的。
在这份以美国和中国城市为主的榜单中,新加坡是唯一入围的东南亚城市。
全球三分之一的亿万富翁居住在这50大城市中。纽约目前是亿万富翁的首选居住地,拥有744名亿万富翁,其次是湾区(675名)和洛杉矶(496名)。共有15个美国城市上榜。
亚洲亿万富翁的增长
中国内地有五个城市进入前50名。北京和上海分别以347位和322位亿万富翁人数排名第五和第七。报告指出,中国亿万富翁人数的增长“最为显著”,过去十年中增长了108%,远超美国81%的增长率。
亚洲城市的超级富豪人数预计还将继续增长。新加坡和香港(排名第八)的超级富豪人数预计在未来16年内(至2040年)将增长超过100%。杭州、深圳和台北也位列前50名,其亿万富翁人数预计在同期将增长超过150%。这三座城市是阿里巴巴、腾讯和台积体电路制造公司等大型科技公司的所在地。沙特阿拉伯的利雅得和印度的班加罗尔等新兴市场城市也有望迎来类似的增长。
与亚洲城市乐观的前景相比,欧洲城市的亿万富翁人口增长前景则相对黯淡。伦敦,曾被视为全球金融中心,预计未来16年内增长率将低于50%。莫斯科、苏黎世和马德里预计也将出现类似的低增长。在前十大亿万富翁城市中,仅有两个欧洲城市:伦敦和巴黎。
Henley&Partners还警告称,即将到来的美国总统大选可能会影响未来美国在榜单中的地位,货币、经济和社会政策的急剧变化可能会促使亿万富翁们移民到“经济和政治更安全”的国家。报告还补充道,美国富豪已成为该公司今年投资移民咨询的“最大客户群”。(财富中文网)

Singapore ranks high among cities in terms of the cost of living—and it’s also very popular with rich people.
A report by Henley&Partners, using data from New World Wealth, released Tuesday ranked the city-state 6th in a list of top 50 cities for ‘centi-millionaires,’ a term used to describe individuals with liquid investable assets of $100 million or more. Henley&Partners says there are 29,350 of such individuals globally, and Singapore is home to 336 of them.
Henley&Partners—which offers investment management services for wealthy people, especially to help individuals gain permanent residence or citizenship—points out nearly two-thirds of the top 50 cities offer investment-migration programs.
Having a bigger pool of centi-millionaires could potentially be a good thing. The report, quoting New World Wealth’s head of research Andrew Amoils, said business started by centi-millionaires have “significant spillover effect on the middle-class” because of the creation of large numbers of well-paying jobs in their base country. It added that most companies on the Fortune 500 or on major stock indexes were started by individuals who subsequently became centi-millionaires.
Singapore is the only Southeast Asian city on the list that’s dominated by American and Chinese cities.
A third of the world’s centi-millionaires live in the top 50 cities. New York City is currently the top home for those people with 744 resident centi-millionaires, followed by the Bay Area (675) and Los Angeles (496) super rich residents. In total, there are 15 American cities on the list.
Asia’s centi-millionaire growth
China, excluding Hong Kong and Taiwan, has five cities ranked in the top 50. Beijing and Shanghai rank 5th and 7th with 347 and 322 centi-millionaires, respectively. The report notes China’s ascent has been the “most dramatic” with its centi-millionaire population expanding by 108% over the last decade, outpacing the U.S.’s 81% growth rate.
Asian cities are also projected to see more growth in the number of super-rich residents. Singapore and Hong Kong (ranked 8th) are forecast to have high growth rates of over 100% over the next 16 years to 2040. Hangzhou, Shenzhen, and Taipei, cities also in the top 50, are projected to see increases of over 150% in their centi-millionaire communities over the same timeline. All three cities are home to major tech companies like Alibaba, Tencent, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. Emerging markets like Riyadh in Saudi Arabia and Bengaluru in India are also poised to see similar growth.
The optimistic forecast for Asian cities contrasts against that of European cities. The centi-millionaire population in London, once considered a financial capital of the world, is forecast to have a growth rate of less than 50% over a 16-year period. Moscow, Zurich, and Madrid are forecast to have similar lackluster growth rates as well. The top 10 centi-millionaire cities only have two European cities: London and Paris.
Henley&Partners also warn the upcoming U.S. presidential election could affect America’s future standing on the list as drastic shifts in monetary, economic, and social policies could drive centi-millionaires to look for countries with “greater economic and political security.” The report added that wealthy Americans have become its “single largest client cohort” for investment migration enquiries this year.
