The total wealth of billionaires surged to six trillion dollars last
year, more than 17 percent than a year ago. Asian billionaires are

The surge is caused by an increase in Asia’s emerging billionaire class and growth in the materials, industrials, financial and technology sectors.
“On average, a new billionaire was created in Asia every two days, with the total number of Asian billionaires rising by almost a quarter to 637, compared to 563 in the US,” the report says.
