From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Singapore has the world's highest percentage of millionaires, with one out of every six households having at least one million US dollars in disposable wealth. This excludes property, businesses, and luxury goods, which if included would further increase the number of millionaires, especially as property in Singapore is among the world's most expensive.
Despite its relative economic success, Singapore does not have a minimum wage, believing that it would lower its competitiveness. It also has one of the highest income inequality levels among developed countries, coming in just behind Hong Kong and in front of the United States.
Population: 5.46 million
Percentage of millionaire households: 8.2%
The small city-state of Singapore counted 98,000 millionaire households in 2012, a significant number for a country with a population of just over 5 million.
