Interesting statistics I came across — I looked at the number of billionaires by country for 2025 and was surprised at how much it reflects the economic strength of different regions.

America clearly dominates with 870 billionaires, but China is not far behind — 823. Then comes India with 284, which is quite impressive for a developing economy. Europe is also well represented: the UK has 150, Germany 141, Switzerland 116.

Looking further down the list of countries by billionaire count, Russia holds steady at 89, France 72, Italy 69. It’s interesting to see Asia — Japan 41, South Korea 38, Thailand 43. Singapore is a small country, yet it already has 48 billionaires.

Overall, when analyzing the number of billionaires by country, it becomes clear that it’s not just about money, but about how the region’s economy is structured. The US and China are clearly ahead, but others are also actively increasing their share. Brazil has 67, Canada 65 — also good figures for comparison.
