Interesting stats.

At the end of 2017, there were estimated to be just over 15 million US$ millionaires or high-net-worth individual (HNWIs) in the world. The United States had the highest number of HNWIs (5,047,000) of any country, while New York City had the most HNWIs (393,500) among cities.[SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP][SUP][5][/SUP]
