The United States and Old Europe continue to decline in 2011 of the Forbes list, confirming that Mexico's Carlos Slim is the richest man in the world and the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) show an increase insolent. Among powerful nations, the crisis is forgotten: the total number of billionaires is 1 210 in 2011, a record since the twenty-fifth anniversary of this classification, and 214 more than last year .
Together, these oligarchs weigh 4,500 billion, exceeding the gross domestic product of Germany, says Forbes. The United States remains in the lead with 413 billionaires, but they represent only 33% of billionaires in the world against 40% last year and 50% ten years ago. And Europe, the continent still number two in 2010 with 248 billionaires, is beaten by the Asia-Pacific takes its place finish and jumped from 234 to 332 billionaires, wealthy almost 100 more in a single year.
If Europe keeps an honorable place with 300 billionaires - 52 more than last year - thanks largely to Russia, which saves the old Western Europe. A top ten global wealth, the French Bernard Arnault (LVMH) and Spaniard Amancio Ortega (clothing brand Zara) save the day. For the first time, Moscow beats New York in number of billionaires and became the city of the world that matters most: 79, 21 more in a year, against 58 in Manhattan.
"These results reflect the extraordinary changes occurring in the global economy," said during a press conference Steve Forbes, editor of the magazine. "The big story is what happens in the so-called BRIC. The leadership of the United States is reduced, it is a true underlying trend," he said.
"Russia from 60 to 101 [Billionaires], China from 69 to 115, Hong Kong from 25 to 36, India from 49 to 55 ... The economy is recovering, but not everywhere the same way" , he said. "The watchwords are: BRIC, commodities, Asia-Pacific. Japan, which seemed likely to conquer the world twenty years ago, is silent, the U.S.
is bogged down, and Europe continues with Russia" said Mr. Forbes. "China has really set the tone this year," added Luisa Kroll, an official of writing. She says "it is easier to become rich today by moving to Shanghai" elsewhere. Asia, nicknamed "the millionaires factory" produces more and more: besides the 115 Chinese, it takes with 55 Indians, 26 Japanese and 14 Indonesians.
Their wealth comes from real estate, manufacturing, fashion and retail. The Middle East and Africa are also 19 new billionaires, including Turkey, with 10 more, 38 in total. Finally, Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of the social network Facebook, jumped to 52nd place with a fortune estimated at 13.5 billion dollars, but everything has a price: it is no longer the youngest.
He was defeated by his colleague Dustin Moskovitz, co-founder of Facebook, who entered the club at 420th rank, and the child is eight days younger than him.
