In 2025, there are over 3,000 billionaires globally.
While you can find billionaires from Albania to Zimbabwe, the vast majority of them live in a few select countries and hubs.
In fact, about 73% of them live in just the nine countries on this map from Statista, which pulls data from the Forbes World Billionaires List.
Billionaires by Country
The below table breaks down billionaires in the top nine countries globally.

*Includes Hong Kong and Macau in total
The United States and China combine for 1,416 billionaires, which is just short of half of the global total.
In the next tier, there are three other countries with 100+ billionaires: India (205), Germany (171), and Russia (141).
Perhaps surprisingly, Canada comes in sixth place with 76 billionaires. This puts the Great White North ahead of countries like Italy, Brazil, the UK, France, Switzerland, Singapore, or Australia.
Billionaire Migration
With virtually unlimited resources at their disposal, the world’s ultra-wealthy can relocate with ease—often doing so to optimize for business, lifestyle, or legacy planning.
Amid rising geopolitical tensions, trade wars, and market volatility, high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) are increasingly reassessing their home bases. Some seek stable jurisdictions with favorable tax regimes, while others prioritize countries offering investor visas, asset protection, or stronger rule of law.
Tariffs and capital controls can also influence where the wealthy choose to live or operate. As global uncertainty grows, strategic migration could become a hedge—allowing billionaires to future-proof both their wealth and personal security.
