Super rich living Cost Index drops 4% survivors welcome gold Future

Xinhua Beijing, June 30, not hit by the financial turmoil of the super-rich, not only the wealth has not shrunk, but more. Stonehage, a london-based wealth management firm that calculates the cost of living for so-called "high net worth" households, points to a 4% per cent decline in the cost of living for the super-rich over the year ended April 2009.　　At the same time, however, the consumer price indices of other British townspeople rose more than 2% per cent. According to a report in the Hong Kong Grand Bulletin, Stonehage has an index that specifically calculates the cost of living the so-called "high net worth family".　　The index covers a variety of "essential consumption" of the rich, such as Beluga caviar, dining at the most frequented restaurant of the premier, the top box at the Royal Theatre, and the surgery for a woman's breast. reported that the recent financial tsunami, "some people are happy, some people worry," for some of the super-rich, because of the evaporation of assets, and out of the ranks of the "rich", it is inevitable to self-pity, but for those who can survive in the turbulent past year, the rich, the future of gold is theirs,　　The super-rich, which have not been hit by the financial turmoil, have not lost much of their wealth. A person is not rich, the standard of judgement is not how much money he has, or how much property, but how many others have. All this is "relative". If you make money more than others, and become rich, of course, is a more ideal way.　　However, if other people lose money, only your wealth does not shrink, you can achieve the same effect. For rich people who can survive a year of financial turmoil, the rich-dominated golden age is just beginning. Why do you say that? The reason is simple. Because all the necessary outfits that can highlight the luxury lifestyle are now relatively inexpensive. And, after the financial turmoil, the real rich are getting smaller.　　Because the so-called "rich" is not how much money you have, but whether you are richer than others. In the past 20 years, the market has been booming, creating a large number of middle class. And the wealth of people seems to be increasing, making it hard for those who are truly powerful to do it alone, taking London as an example. By 2007, if you had a house in the city, you could almost be a millionaire club.　　The same goes for the United States, Ireland and Spain, where millionaires don't seem to be particularly impressive. But now, it's all different. The middle class has declined and there is no chance of a comeback in the short term. The housing market may not have fallen as straight as before. However, to invest in real estate to make a lot of money, may have to wait a few years later, because the money is getting more and more difficult. Moreover, the financial markets are not as likely as they were in the past decade to allow young lads to get millions of dividends and make a full profit.　　In the next decade, the banks that survived this wave of storms should be able to control themselves. The number of millionaires becomes smaller andThe surviving millionaire has a stage to stretch. Now they don't have to struggle to figure out how to show off their wealth to prove they're different. They can relax and enjoy their wealth.　　The super-rich who were able to sustain themselves in the tumultuous year of last year are now greeted by a better era. Capgemini SA and Merrill Lynch's global rich tracking report found that last year the world's million-dollar millionaire population dropped by 15%, leaving just 8.6 million people, reversing the continued rise in the number of wealthy persons in the previous two years. The wealth of the million has shrunk by 20% and left $32.8 trillion trillion.
