The country with the highest proportion of millionaire households is Singapore, with over 15% of its households having disposable private wealth of over $1 million US dollars (USD). Property has not been considered, so it is estimated Singapore’s millionaire rate could be even higher, because the city-state has one of the most expensive property markets in the world. It is thought that millionaires might choose to live in Singapore because it is one of the largest offshore banking centers in the world, thanks to its low tax rates. The United States has the largest number of millionaire families with over 5 million.
