The study by the Hurun Research Institute says there are over4000 people who have more than $1 billion on their bank account,and 76 of them reside in Moscow.
Russia has 88 billionaires with a combined wealth of $368bn, and itseems to support the old proverb that “all the money goes toMoscow”.
The wealthiest Muscovite is mining tycoon and Arsenal football clubco-owner, Alisher Usmanov, whose fortune is estimated at $19billion.
The Chinese researchers have given the world’s financialcapital, New York, the second spot on their rankings, with 70residing billionaires.
Honk Kong took the third position in the Hurun Global Rich List2013, but it stands far behind the leaders, being home to just 54rich cats.
The Chinese capital, Beijing, is fourth with 41 billionaires,while the long-time leader, London, has given up its positions forgood. The British capital has dropped to fifth spot, with only 40billionaires.
Istanbul (26 billionaires), Mumbai (24), Shanghai (24), Paris(23), Shenzhen (22) and Taipei (22) complete the Top 10.
The conclusion by Hurun Research matches that from ForbesMagazine, who also put Moscow on top of their list of the citieswith the biggest super-rich community at 78 billionaires.
