Do you know as of now Singapore has 27 billionaires !!!!!

That's according to Wealth-X and UBS Billionaire Consensus 2013, & that will make Singapore the fifth biggest billionaire population in Asia and 18th iin the world.

The typical Singapore billionaire is said to be mainly from the finance, banking and investments sector, has at least a degree and is above 60 years old. That rules me out....lol.....
The study also shows that as of 2013, the total number of billionaires in the world has reached a record of 2,170, with Asia being the fastest growing region.

    What does it mean to common people like us to have all these billionaires in Spore? Nothing! They push up the prices of everything- like houses.
    Hope they don't start coming to our hawker centres- if not our hawkers will have an excuse to increase prices ....rofl

    If a country is generating too many billionaires relative to the size of its economy, this concentration of wealth can lead to stagnation

      Say the top billionaires in a country remains unchanged for years- this means the same people are pretty much running things in that country for ages. Nothing changes!!!
      If the top earners are ever changing, it reflects that the country is in constant flux- seems fairer in a way-
      Others have a chance!

      As if it'll help. The rich will just channel their money out- maybe to spore & cause our property to go up even further:((
