Beijing, Osaka, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore are the cities in the order of millionaires following Frankfurt. Around one fifth of Japan’s millionaire population is concentrated in Tokyo. Compared to this New York has only seven percent of America’s millionaires. Another interesting fact that emerged from the study is that Japan could end up losing the status of city having the maximum number of millionaires to China by 2020.

As per study conducted by Wealth Insight, the population of millionaires in China could rise up to 3.3 million in 2020 while the figure could remain stagnant at 2.2 million in Japan.
