Global Centi-Millionaire Trends

Henley & Partners’ 2023 Centi-Millionaire Report states that the global centi-millionaire population is expected to grow by 38% in the next ten years, reaching nearly 40,000 by 2033.

This growth is likely to be witnessed in countries such as China, India, and Saudi Arabia. China’s Hangzhou and Shenzhen are expected to see the highest percentage growth in centi-millionaire populations through 2033, growing by 95% and 88%, respectively.

Despite the rapid wealth growth in the global East, it’s noteworthy that many centi-millionaires are still graduating from American universities. Over half of the top 20 universities with the most centi-millionaire alumni are in the United States, with Harvard, Stanford, and the University of Pennsylvania taking the top three spots.
