World’s 6th largest number of billionaires in India

img32

NEW DELHI (TIP): Indian billionaires, the sixth largest group in the rich world, have thrown up an interesting trend found nowhere else in the world — holding on to one’s roots. Despite popular notions of billionaires being jet-setting, cosmopolitan individuals, most Indian billionaires remain where they were raised. The World Billionaire Census 2013 released on Wednesday shows that 95% of Indian billionaires who currently have their primary business in India, also grew up there. The trend globally is very different. Around 23% or just 1 in 4 billionaires globally made their home city the city of their primary business. Only 39% of all billionaires globally have the same home state as the state of their primary business Billionaire hotspots such as Singapore, Switzerland and Hong Kong have emerged as favoured destinations for the ultra-rich. However, only 36, 34, and 25% of their billionaire populations respectively, grew up in these countries. Another significant finding is that not all these Indian billionaires have college degrees, let alone attending Ivy League for a degree in business management. Three of every 10 billionaires in India don’t even have a college degree.

5.5% dip in India’s billionaire population
India’s billionaire contingent (103- strong) is narrowly behind Russia (108). However India’s billionaire population has decreased by 5.5% and the total billionaire wealth has fallen by $10 billion since last year. Mumbai is among the top 5 billionaire cities in the world and the only Indian entry in the top 10 list and New York remains the business city of choice for the world’s billionaires. Asia takes eight out of the top 20 spots for billionaire cities, the most for any region in the world. Moscow accounts for more than two thirds of Russia’s billionaires. The total number of billionaires who are based in the top 20 cities is 661, representing 30% of the world’s billionaires. India is one of the few countries where finance, banking and investments are not the most significant industries. Instead, industrial conglomerates and pharmaceuticals are the first and second most significant industries for Indian billionaires. Only 3% of Indian billionaires are female, the joint lowest of any focus country. The majority of Indian billionaires are college-educated with 72% possessing at least a bachelor’s degree (Switzerland and the US are the only other two focus countries that have a higher proportion of universityeducated billionaires). The Wealth-X and UBS Billionaire Census 2013 showed that Asia is where the largest number of newly-minted billionaires is based — since July 2012, 18 new billionaires came up in Asia with a total wealth of $136 billion. Asia was followed by North America (11).

Five of the top 10 countries with the highest percentage of self-made billionaires are from Asia. Every region increased in wealth terms, with Asia the fastest growing at 12.9%. The global billionaire population reached a record 2,170 individuals in 2013 and total billionaire wealth in Asia surged nearly 13% making it the fastestgrowing region. At current growth rates, the census, the first-ever comprehensive global study on this ultra-wealth tier, forecasts that Asia will catch up with North America in five years. Asia also saw the highest percentage rise in billionaire population (3.7% from 2012) and total wealth (13%) in 2013, suggesting that it is driving the tectonic shifts in wealth globally. The report also shows that 810 individuals became billionaires since the 2009 global financial crisis. The billionaire population’s combined net worth more than doubled from $3.1 trillion in 2009 to $6.5 trillion in 2013 — enough to fund the United States’s budget deficit until 2024, and greater than the GDP of every country except the US and China. Wealth-X forecasts that the global billionaire population will increase by 1,700 individuals to nearly 3,900 by the year 2020. Europe is home to the most billionaires (766 individuals). However, North America has the most billionaire wealth ($2,158 billion). Around 60% of billionaires are selfmade, while 40% inherited their wealth or grew their fortunes from inheritance. Only 17% of female billionaires are selfmade, while 71% gained their fortunes through inheritance.

  5. Strong content like this helps business owners make smarter decisions about
    their pipeline. Generating qualified leads at scale requires both the right tools
    and a well defined process. Using data driven methods to qualify leads before outreach saves both time
    and marketing budget. Taking action on even a few of these strategies can produce measurable
    results in a short time.

  8. Hi there! After reading this article, and I really wanted
    to share my experience. As a 16-year-old boy living with a physical disability, I do a lot of web research.

    My parents were struggling with slow international wire fees for their monthly payments.
    I wanted to help them out, so I dug into financial platforms and discovered Paybis.

    The fee structures are what sold me. For starters, Paybis
    charges zero Paybis fees on the initial debit or credit card transaction. After that, the fee is
    a flat 2.49%, plus the blockchain network fee.

    Compared to traditional banks, the savings are huge.

    I helped them do the identity verification in just a few minutes, and
    now they buy crypto directly with credit cards. Paybis supports 40+ local currencies!
    Plus, the funds go instantly to their ledger, meaning no custodial risk.

    Thanks for the great article, it perfectly matches how we made our payments easier!

    of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images.

  15. What happens to the calls that come in while you’re under a sink, on a roof,
    or driving between jobs?

    Most hashtag#plumbers I talk to don’t have
    a lead problem.

    They have a pickup problem.

    The phone rings, nobody’s free, it rolls to voicemail,
    and that caller just dials the next guy.

    You already paid to make that phone ring. Missing it means you
    paid twice.

    I work with a tool that answers every call the second it comes in — day, night, or dead in the
    middle of your busiest week.

    It qualifies the caller, books the job, and hands you the details.

    No voicemail. No missed work. No “sorry, I went with someone else.”

    If you have this problem, and want to discuss my solution, just reply to this post!

  16. Thank you, I have recently been searching for information approximately
    this subject for ages and yours is the greatest I have discovered so far.

    with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify

  19. Howdy, There’s no doubt that your website could be having web browser compatibility problems.
    Whenever I take a look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet
    Explorer, it’s got some overlapping issues. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Aside from that, great blog!

  20. ¡No lo puedo creer, hermano! Soy Gustavo desde
    Asunción.
    Como buen timbero y paraguayo de pura cepa, siento que el corazón me va
    a reventar de tanta emoción.
    En el debut de esta Copa del Mundo norteamericana, sentí que se
    me caía el mundo encima con ese maldito 4-1 contra USA
    que me hizo perder mucha plata. Pero la raza guaraní nunca se rinde:
    sufrimos como unos condenados para clavarle el 1-0 a Turquía y logramos sobrevivir a la fase de grupos con ese sufrido
    0-0 ante Australia.
    ¡El partido contra Alemania me quitó diez años de vida y me devolvió la
    fe! Todas las cuotas de las casas de apuestas estaban brutalmente en contra,
    pero mostramos unos huevos gigantes para mantener el 1-1 frente a
    esa máquina. ¡Los eliminamos 4-3 desde los doce pasos, un milagro
    hermoso y sangriento!
    ¡Con lo que gané en esa apuesta a la sorpresa me pago las deudas de todo
    el año y festejo un mes seguido!
    Este jueves nos cruzamos con la Francia en octavos de final y apuesto el auto, la casa y la vida a mi
    querida Albirroja. ¡Que nos den por perdedores, mucho
    mejor, así paga más mi apuesta!
    ¡A dejar hasta la última gota de sangre, vamos mi Paraguay querido!

  21. First off I want to say superb blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you
    do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your
    thoughts prior to writing. I’ve had a hard time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out.

    I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost just trying to figure out how
    to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Cheers!
