provides a better way of representation.


Reports mention that US has got more number of millionaires as compared to Japan but most of the Japanese millionaires are concentrated in its capital city, Tokyo and this is the sole reason for the lagging behind of The New York City.
As an estimate made by WealthInsigth, China is supposed to have about 3.3 million millionaires by 2020 as against Japan with 2.2 million millionaires by the same year. America, however is going to lead the tally with a towering 7.7 million millionaires.
