Where are all the millionaires?
 

No.1
Singapore
Population: 4.7 million
Percentage of Millionaire Households: 11.4%

Who would think the tiny Republic of Singapore would be crammed with so many millionaires? The country, all of just 247 square miles, has emerged from the recession and has rebounded in a big way. Its GDP, exports and manufacturing are all rising, and so, too, are home prices. That has led Singapore to boast the highest concentration of millionaires anywhere on the planet. However, I do not think the living of standard is high there. The value for money is not there.

The best part is u can fly to one of the poorest countries next door, Indonesia... and live like a King there!

not bad for the states... no. 7, nothing for UK and germany...

Wow, are these mostly people who have lived there their whole life and became a millionaire or people that have became millionaires elsewhere and moved there for the cheap living?

thread reported to spamhaus and interpol for spam.

United States: "By the end of 2009, the economy grew at its fastest pace in more than six years, even though many businesses put the brakes on hiring."

Israel: "Unlike other markets, the story in Israel wasn't about rising real estate values or credit, but about gains in technology, which some say will help lead the country to continued economic growth."

I call bullshit on this one - 2-3 years ago Norway was No1 when it comes to millionaires per capita and now is nowhere to be found? I don't think so...

All norwegians moved to Singapore?

From the Wikileaks cables:

So why exactly is the US giving so much money to Israel?

Singapore is not cheap and very much first world. Singapore and Hong Kong have so much money you can smell it.

everyone talks about property and money in singapore n hong kong... it's equivalent to how people talk about sex in the west...

Nothing cheap at all about Singapore. Very expensive to live there.

Money is over rated

It is but the low company and personal tax rates still make it attractive for those with high incomes to live in Singapore. Also a really nice clean and safe city:thumbsup

Yeah except fairly censored too. I spent 3 months there in the 90's. Been awhile for me now I guess heh.

Just don't go spray painting any cars.

you know how much a mediocre BMW costs in Singapore ?

about $220k for a very average 5 series (530i, not even fully loaded)

fuck, for that much i could drive a Ferrari here

you need to get out more:2 cents:

They are all totally wrong, where do these people get their facts from ?:disgust I'd say the biggest precentage of millionaires , is on GFY :2 cents::pimp

Singapore is where the Nigerians scam operation kept their $ too

as a fellow gfy millionaire I approve of this message...












(i only do the webmaster support thing for kicks)

"However, I do not think the living of standard is high there. The value for money is not there."

Are you kidding lol? I lived there for 2 years, it is the most hight tech, developed country in the region, a center for finance and the 2nd busiest shipping port in the world.

Percent wise, but the US with 12,710,000 vs 535,800 in Singapore isn't even close...:winkwink:

no millionaires on earth...

what is that supposed to mean?

so for the record, money is
- in the east (where they are producing all the shit that we buy)
- where the oil is (from where we buy/steal oil from)
- swiss - where it always was

period

Don't know what record that is but the vast majority of the millionaires it seems are from the United States. 4.7 million millionaires there.

exactly, fuck... a tiny studio costs $1.3 million... wtf.... singapore is a haven for the rich, it could be a shithole for the poor...

does it make sense to pay such a huge premium for economic prosperity, warm weather, safety, stability?!?!
