In the US there was an increase of 18%, while between China and Hong Kong the trend is about an increase of 53%. What is happening?
During 2020, each 17 hours a new billionaire appeared. Let’s go find out, however, who is it? The answer also comes from an in-depth study that was published on the blog L’insider, which highlights how the assets of certain super scroungers have grown more and more.
The city with the most billionaires? It’s Beijing!
In recent months, there are some trends that have emerged to the attention of the insiders, as well explained on the blog of the online casino of Betway. Specifically, there is one that is progressing impressively and it’s about China, which is becoming a major player in the super rich sector.
During 2020, the United States registered as many as 614 billionaires, while China limited itself to reaching 456. After twelve months, things have changed dramatically, since the billionaires from China and Hong Kong they arrived practically close to the United States: 698 units against 724 in the country with stars and stripes.
Taking a look at the percentages, it can be seen that in the US an increase of 18% was recorded, while between China and Hong Kong the trend is about an increase of 53%. Another very interesting fact that testifies to this clash between the two superpowers also in this respect is that which concerns the city with the largest number of billionaires, with Beijing leaving New York behind, 100 against 99 units in 2021.
The weekly hours spent working
There are some characteristics that a well-known billionaire scholar, Ricardo Geromel, has noticed and that are shared among a large number of entrepreneurs. In his latest book, which was titled “Billionaires: What They Have in Common Beyond the Nine Zeros Before The comma?”, This detail has been analyzed.
Well, according to what was referred to by Geromel, the billionaires have in common with each other, in addition to the fact that they are 360 ° entrepreneurs, other aspects as well. Just to give an example, they are able to learn quickly and effectively from their mistakes, but they also have a certain sensitivity on a philanthropic level.
There is a feature that, however, is interpreted differently by the various entrepreneurs. This is the number of hours per week that are worked. It can hardly be beaten a character of the caliber of Elon Musk, which is the head of the Californian brand Tesla and which has also launched into the aerospace sector.
The 10 billionaires who exceeded 100 billion dollars
A particular ranking to highlight which billionaires have, more than any other, left their mark in this very particular sector. In 2021, the richest man in the world responds to the name of Jeff Bezos, which can boast a legacy that truly leaves you speechless, amounting to 195 billion dollars.
In second place, immediately behind him, obviously another character cannot be missing, particularly well known to the general public over the last few months, namely Elon Musk. Even for the fifty-year-old American, the assets exceed 190 billion (to be precise 193 billion dollars), while on the lowest step of the podium we find a Frenchman. It is about Bernard Arnault, whose assets reach and exceed 179 billion dollars. Nuts, for those who have been working in the field of cosmetics for a large number of years. Outside the podium area Bill Gates: the 65-year-old with stars and stripes has a wealth of 152 billion dollars and works in the field of technology.
