20 Cities with The Most Billionaires

The 20 cities with the most billionaires tend to have some of the most interesting quirks despite not being the best. It needs to be said that billionaires aren’t always as altruistic as some think.

New York

It should come as no surprise that this city shows up on a list of cities with the most billionaires. New York has been a hub of humanity for decades now, and it attracts money without fail.

London

As one of the more old-school locations for commerce, London is home to many rich individuals. Not only this, but it’s the home of royalty, and their net worth is absolutely insane.

Mumbai

One might wonder what some cities are doing that enables 90+ people to become billionaires. But as with many other cities, Mumbai is the type of place where people live in various extremes.

Beijing

One has to wonder how and why billionaires choose to settle in one place or another. Location has a lot to do with it, but with so many options it’s still interesting to think about.

Shanghai

It might sound like a stereotype, but many Asian countries do tend to produce quite a few rich individuals. If there’s something they’re doing right one would think it would be a model for many others.

Shenzen

There are obviously a few cities from the same general regions on this list. It’s fair to say that billionaires in these cities are doing something very right, or incredibly wrong.

Hong Kong

Trying to figure out how to become a billionaire is tougher than being one, or so it would appear. But plenty of those on this list have done so in one way or another.

Moscow

Some countries thrive on old money, which is handed down from one generation to another. But there are plenty of people who make their own way up.

New Delhi

Those who come up with great ideas and use their intelligence and cunning to make their money are often vilified. In some cases this is accurate, but in others, it’s envy and jealousy that get out of hand.

San Francisco

For many Americans, the dream of financial independence is great enough to erase concerns that come with such fortune. No one wants to think about the burdens that riches come with, right?

Bangkok

The sayings that money is the root of all evil aren’t entirely false. But unfortunately, money deadens the senses of many to the dangers it can bring.

Taipei

On the other hand, money does solve a lot of problems, even if it creates others. But for many billionaires, this isn’t that great of a concern.

Paris

Many who acquire this type of money don’t often look past the pleasures that can be purchased. If they’re wise, they’ve already built contingencies that will keep them safe.

Hangzhou

There is freedom in having billions, but there’s a lot of responsibility as well. The fact remains though that the rich and the poor don’t often see everything they need to.

Singapore

Riches come and go, which is something that many people will say but not comprehend. Those who are in the 1% of the world will always run the risk of falling out of that percentage.

Guangzhou

The cities that have the most billionaires sound as though they should benefit from these individuals. But the truth is that billionaires don’t stay rich by spending their wealth that often.

Jakarta

Then again, billionaires who care about their communities and countries will do what they can to keep their money while providing for others. It’s a delicate balance that not many are interested in keeping.

Sao Paulo

The pessimistic view of billionaires who don’t spend their riches to help others is one that many share. But the truth is that for every rich person who doesn’t contribute to their community, there’s at least one more who will care.

Los Angeles

It’s tough to see billionaires who care enough to help others, but it’s a reality. Unfortunately, this is often dulled by public opinion.

Seoul

However people came upon their billions, and it’s impressive to note how many there are in the world. It’s also a wonder as to how they came to be so rich.
