The world's super rich club expanded significantly over the past 10 years, with China leading the charge, according to the latest report from New World Wealth and investment migration advisor Henley & Partners.
The number of centimillionaires surged 54% worldwide over the past decade to 29,350, particularly in China and the U.S., according to the report.
China's growth was driven in large part by the emergence of tech centimillionaires and industrial titans, Steffen said.
Most of China's centimillionaire boom happened between 2013 to 2020, Andrew Amoils, wealth analyst at New World Wealth, told CNBC.
Since 2020, the number of ultra-rich has only risen about 10%, he added.
