U.S.A! U.S.A! Land of Opportunity (and Obscene Riches)
Well hello there fellow adventurers! It's your old pal Indy back from dodging boulders and outrunning Nazis to bring you the latest scoop. And what a scoop it is! Seems the good ol' U.S. of A. is positively bursting at the seams with millionaires and billionaires. I'm talking more than a third of the world's supply! Makes you wonder if they've found King Solomon's Mines of stock options and IPOs instead of gold and jewels. As Barnett College's token professor I find this to be a good study. I may just have to change my career path.
Six Million Strong: Liquid Assets Shaken Not Stirred
A recent report from Henley & Partners and New World Wealth (sounds like a firm Marion would hire) reveals that we've got over 6 million 'liquid millionaires' kicking around. That's folks with more than a million smackeroos in *investable* assets. Fancy that! Up a whopping 78% in the last decade! It’s enough to make you choke on your whiskey – which by the way is *not* an investable asset unless you're planning a very elaborate party. I wouldn't know what to do with all that money buy a new Fedora I suppose. It's always the Fedora
Centimillionaire's Club: Now Accepting Applications (and $100 Million)
And if that wasn't enough we've got a staggering 10,835 centimillionaires – that's folks with $100 million or more! More than four times that of China which is second place. You could buy a lot of whips and leather jackets with that kind of dough let me tell you. I’m beginning to think I picked the wrong profession. Although who would find all these relics and artifacts if I didn't risk my life!?
Tech Titans: The Modern Day Pharaohs
Apparently it's all thanks to those high growth tech sectors: software microchips online retail the whole shebang. According to some fellow named Andrew Amoils America's the 'undisputed world leader' in all that jazz. Makes you think the real Ark of the Covenant is buried in Silicon Valley guarded by lines of code instead of angry angels. I'd still give it a go even if I have to ask Sallah for help computers aren't my forte.
Millionaire Migration: The New Gold Rush
And get this – we're not just growing our own millionaires we're *importing* them! Last year about 3,800 millionaires moved to the U.S. including 95 centimillionaires. They're flocking to California (for the tech naturally) Florida and Texas. Seems like everyone's looking for a piece of the American pie. I tell you they don't call it a melting pot for nothing. You could almost say it's a trap!
Sunbelt Showdown: Scottsdale Steals the Spotlight
While New York and the Bay Area still hold the most millionaires the real action's in the Sunbelt. Scottsdale Arizona is the fastest growing city for millionaire growth up a bonkers 125%! West Palm Beach Florida ain't far behind. Maybe I should trade my fedora for a sun hat and start investing in sunscreen futures. But between you and me I am not a fan of the heat snakes! Why did it have to be snakes!?
