The WealthInsight research said Adelaide
experienced the strongest multi-millionaire growth among Australian
cities over the period 2007-2011, with growth of 75%, followed by
Perth with growth of 52%.
WealthInsight analyst Andrew Amoils said: “The
strong growth in Perth was facilitated by growth in the number of
multi-millionaires who acquired their wealth from the basic
materials sector, which was fuelled by a rise in commodity
prices.”
