中国造富运动加速 亚太超级富豪人数一年后超美国

North America has about a year left to enjoy its reign as the region with the greatest number of extremely wealthy people, according to the authors of a new wealth report. Poised for succession is the Asian-Pacific region, which, as early as next year, will be home to the world’s largest population of people with more than $30 million in investible assets, largely thanks to big growth in countries like China and Singapore.

据一份最新财富报告的执笔者们称，北美继续享有拥有世界最多超级富豪地区名号的时间仅仅剩下约一年。已准备好接替美国的地区是亚太，它最早将于明年成为拥有超过3,000万美元投资资产超级富豪人数最多的地区，其中大部分原因是由于中国和新加坡等国家中的富豪人数大幅增加。

That might not sound so remarkable, especially considering that the Asia-Pacific region today has more than 4.2 billion people and the U.S. only has 317 million, according to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. But historically, that hasn’t mattered. The U.S. has around four million very rich people, more than the second and third-ranked countries (Japan and Germany, respectively) combined.

听起来没什么了不起的，特别是考虑到，据联合国（United Nations）经济和社会事务部（Department of Economic and Social Affairs）的数据，亚太地区当前拥有超过42亿人，而美国仅有3.17亿人。但从历史上看，这一点并不重要。美国拥有约400万非常富有的人，富豪人数比排名第二位和第三的国家（分别为日本和德国）加起来还多。
