Today, a glimpse at how — or maybe where — the other half lives.
I learned a new acronym today — HNWI, aka high net worth individuals. People with a million or more in “investable” assets.
Merrill Lynch and the consulting firm CapGemini did a survey. There are almost 11 million HNWI in the world today, up 8 percent from a year ago.
More than half of ’em live in just three countries. Guesses?
Take a minute…
Yep, the US.
Next? Japan.
And Germany.
