The other interesting aspect is how many of the richest people of the world live in the US. Contrary to what many say, the American economy is very strong and it is no surprise that they dominate these numbers so thoroughly. Impressive also is how many billionaires come from Russia. From the way the "Western media" depicts Russia one would never expect that.

Interesting information. The number of Chinese billionaires has risen dramatically.
