Press release: WealthInsight Top 10 global cities for millionaires

  • Tokyo tops the millionaire list
  • London tops the multi-millionaire list
  • New York tops the billionaire list

According the WealthInsight analyst Andrew Amoils:
"Tokyo tops our millionaire list and is surprisingly above New York. This is partly due to the fact that many wealthy New Yorkers live off the Island in cities such as Greenwich"
