1. United States of America: 536 Billionaires
Dominating the list of world’s richest people, it is no surprise that USA has the highest number of billionaires. There are 536 billionaires in USA. Not even close to matched by any other countries in the world.
It is not a surprise either that the richest American is the world’s number one richest. Bill Gates, the father of Microsoft, possessed $75 billion of net worth by the end of 2015. Rumor has it; it has increased to over $77 billion.
The funny thing is, USA itself is suffering from public debt deficit. It is the 10th country with biggest debt deficit with 102.98% public debt of its $17.419 trillion GDP. Ironically, that massive amount of GDP puts USA as the world’s largest economy.
While other countries make good sense of being the countries with highest number of billionaires, USA is different. Why do you think this happened? Will USA solve its debt deficit? Will it go deeper into the pit? Share your thoughts with us!
