Forbes recently published a list of the richest cities in the world by the number of billionaires. Accordingly, 101 of the 2,640 billionaires on the Forbes list of billionaires live in New York.

Recently, Forbes magazine released its list of billionaires in 2023.

Topping the list of 2,640 billionaires is Bernard Arnault, chairman of the board of directors of the LVMH holding.

After the list that contributed to the emergence of very interesting data with billionaires in 2023, Forbes published a new list.

Forbes ranked the richest cities in the world by the number of billionaires. Accordingly, 101 out of 2,640 billionaires live in New York.

In other words, New York is the city with the most billionaires in the world. This is despite the fact that 6 billionaires have left the city since last year. For this reason, New York can be called the “capital of billionaires.” On the other hand, New York holds the title of the richest city in the world with 101 billionaires. The total wealth of New York billionaires is $616.8 billion. But almost a quarter of New York’s wealth belongs to Michael Bloomberg, the city’s richest citizen, and Julia Koch, New York’s second-highest billionaire.

New York, the favorite city of billionaires, was the richest city in the world for 7 consecutive years until 2021.

However, Beijing, the capital of China, took first place in 2021, where New York has been for seven consecutive years. New York reclaimed the title by hosting the most billionaires in 2022. In 2023, it again became the richest city in the world in terms of the number of billionaires.

Hong Kong was the second most preferred region for billionaires in 2023.

So, by 2023, the number of billionaires in the region has grown to 70, and Hong Kong has risen to 2nd place in the list of the richest cities in the world in terms of the number of billionaires. The total wealth of the region’s billionaires is $286.8 billion. The richest man in the region is Li Ka-shing with a net worth of $38 billion.

Beijing, the capital of China, which topped the list in 2021, is ranked 3rd this year.
