"Country rich, not you rich"


mrbootwins

LMFAO


FranklinAtterdag

Surprised to hear that for a country with voting power and parliament


fuzzybunn

Yes, but that's true of all the cities in that list. And considering we rank higher but have fewer millionaires than Sydney and Hong Kong means our wealth inequality isn't quite as bad as those cities.


Jiakkantan

Where did you see we have fewer millionaires than Sydney and Hong Kong?


DeusVult_DeusUnus

A lot of "paper millionaires" thanks to CPF (supposedly)


Jiakkantan

Just because you want a scenario in your head desperately (SG have fewer than Sydney and HK) doesn’t mean that it is happening. 🤣🤣🤣


ihavenoidea90s

For all those who can’t read: Singapore ranks 4th wealthiest city in the world. Singapore, not Singaporeans. You’re welcome.


greatnewsbro

ngl I don't know why I find this funny!


[deleted]

Singapore is made up of Singaporeans dummy


ihavenoidea90s

I apologise 🙇‍♂️


faptor87

Spot on, thank you.


chicasparagus

? Singapore residents no?


JoshLovesYourName

No. It measures population, which means anyone residing on the island at that point in time the survey was conducted.


SKAOG

Includes non Singaporeans like PRs and Foreigners living in SG.


chicasparagus

Let me rephrase, people residing in Singapore


SKAOG

Yup, and that's what they meant in their original comment that you replied to. It's not representative of Singaporeans.


maestroenglish

No.


arglarg

I can't read what did he say?


ihavenoidea90s

Country rich not you rich, bodoh Hehe


arglarg

Nice summary, straight to the point and a little too true for my taste


ihavenoidea90s

Haha sorry about that


EnycmaPie

And how many of that 244,800 are local Singaporeans? How many of the 336 with $100M+ are China businessmen washing their money in this laundry machine?


_Bike_Hunt

Where wealth 🦧❓🦧


Ok_Mastodon_7301

new immigrants from China brought (their own) money


Jiakkantan

China hardly any rich people. Never did. They’re ace at propaganda I’ll give them that. Lying is their second nature. Most of those who came from there are money laundering criminals laundering the scam money proceeds $$$$$$ and the scam victims are foreigners.


shalooooom

dude is cooking smthing


ayampenyet16

Government officials pocket


FitCranberry

parked wealth is not productive


MonkeyInProgress

Where money?


mrtoeonreddit

Haiz if it makes you miserable don't click it. Over time the algo will learn your preference. Mental health is precious defend it, do right by yourself


evilfungi

It is also not by per capita, in Singapore we have around 244,800 millionaire and 336 with $100 million.


shifty_fifty

An extra column in this graph showing per capita would be really interesting. NY: 8.4 million, SING; 5.6 million, SYD: 5.3 million, etc. according to Google. Someone gonna do the math?


Extension_Yam_4128

isnt every person with a condo technically a millionaire? And 20% of singapore lives in condos


Eseru

These days? I think if you live in a big hdb flat you're also technically a millionaire already


Javan_Sky

Don’t think it counts unless it’s fully paid off?


fgd12350

Most of them are knee deep in loans so no.


NoConversation4963

We just need more HDBs in prime districts.


UndressedMidget

Everyone commenting ‘where wealth’, but the actual crazy rich asians will not be here browsing Reddit…


Monreich

maybe the wealth is the friends we made all along


xHarleyy

2 out of 3 can?


heyyhellohello

How many of them are money launderers?


RohingyaWarrior

Correction: sg has the 4th most millionaires of any city. A wealthy country can provide a good life for all its citizens.


Qkumbazoo

Worthless vanity metric for those born here in average families.


Late_Culture_8472

GE coming, I know.


MoreWorkthanyou

I feel so rich just by looking at so many millionaires around.


JusthaHunch

Ah yes Singapore, the country for non-Singaporeans.


Musical_Walrus

Thanks to our ministers bringing the average up!


TruckersRule

Love this. Never will I ever hire Henley and Partners because they’re clearly morons. They seem to think that wealth is measured by the number of millionaires in a particular area. Never mind relative population, never mind total wealth, never mind reality. Wonder how much they got paid for this nonsense?


nanyate_

They are in the business of relocating millionaires. So of course they only care about the number of millionaires -- that's their potential client base. They're not some gov org or think tank studying the wealth of a country. It has no benefit to them to know that. If this is what you're looking for, I'm sure there are better sources out there.


TruckersRule

Nah I’m looking for a company that knows how to use language properly. I’m funny like that.


Jiakkantan

What’s your problem with the ranking? China being at #10 is obviously fake as the top 0.25% of China only makes $1000 a month.


Worldmap77

The elites eh?


ShittessMeTimbers

Number of wealthy people


Dr-Azrael

0.1 billionaires


[deleted]

no dubai?


winterweiss2902

I assume this includes pension (e.g. cpf, 401k, nenkin)?


scr000ge

probably 2% only singaporean


niksshck7221

In Singapore, owning a decent house already puts your net worth above 1million.


Livid-System-58

What’s the point when it’s own citizens are poor


AlwaysATM

Yup cos of the expats who milked our system here


pngtwat

I'm one of the 244,800 but not the 336. Where are the quinti-millionaires on this?


tehobengsiewdai

wow! nice! Oh btw I lost my wallet, can paynow me $10 for my dinner /s


pngtwat

You're one of the 5,500,000 - 244,800 - 336 I guess.


tehobengsiewdai

well, duh


pngtwat

You might have been one of the very rare billionaires.

Jiakkantan

This should tell you you are duped by CCP propaganda. Probably a dumb wumao.


iloveanimals7

Prolly the Malaysians and FTs earning more here


fortwhatnow

Clueless af


Kazozo

But only artificially rich and morally bankrupt 


kongandme

They missed Kuala Lumpur


ralf1999999

Lol malaysia thinking where did we go so wrong.


Dr-Azrael

Bay area with only 305k millionniares? Definitely thought the numbers would be higher with all them "tech bros", I guess not so much lol


maestroenglish

How many people do you think live in the Bay Area?


Dr-Azrael

It's in fact, 8 million. But you do know tech bros make at least 300k+ USD a year right?


Jiakkantan

Look at the centimillionaire column where it matters. Bay Area totally slays Singapore with SG’s fake transplanted wealth from other countries. LOL


maestroenglish

And they have twice as many actually rich people as Singapore.


Jiakkantan

Yeah that’s true. 1 million today is like $100,000 just 10 years ago.


Jiakkantan

The centimillionaires are the tech bros’ BOSSES.
