MOSCOW (Sputnik) — In 2015, Asian millionaires got richer by 10 percent which is five times more than in North America, and accumulated a total of $17.4 trillion outpacing $16.6 trillion in America.
"Asia-Pacific surpassed North America for the first time to become the region with the largest amount of HNWI (high net worth individuals) wealth… If past growth rates hold, Asia-Pacific is likely to continue to be a dominant force over the next decade, representing two-fifths of the world's HNWI wealth, more than that of Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa combined," the report read.
