Centi-millionaires stand out as significant individuals with enormous impact on the ever-changing fabric of a city’s economic landscape, contributing to the growth and prosperity of the urban environment. These individuals, who have a net worth of more than $100 million, play a critical role in determining the economic, cultural, and charitable dynamics of their communities.
According to Henley & Partners and New World Wealth’s recent Centi-Millionaire report produced on October 10th, 2023 edition, the term ‘centi-millionaires’ refers to individuals with investable wealth of USD 100 million or more.
In its in-house database, New World Wealth follows the movements of over 150,000 high-net-worth people. The database focuses mostly on corporate founders and wealthy persons from high-value organizations who hold the following positions: chairman, CEO, president, director, and managing partner.
Only 28,420 centi-millionaires exist in the world (as of June 2023), making this an extremely exclusive club. In the aforementioned report, a focus on Africa shows the most expensive cities for these centi-millionaires, and below are the ten cities listed.
