Where have all the shrinking wealth of the rich gone? In the just-released Hurun Wealth Report, there is a very scary truth......
The annual Hurun Wealth Report is here again
Every year, I focus on this report to see what new trends are emerging among the wealthy. The biggest change this year is that the value of the rich people in my village has shrunk
This is the second time since the release of the wealth report that the number of high-net-worth families has experienced negative growth (last 08 years), and the larger the asset size, the more serious the shrinkage
The number of "wealthy families" with assets of 6 million yuan decreased by 0.8% from the previous year, a decrease of 40,000
The number of "high-net-worth families" with assets of 10 million yuan decreased by 1.3% over the previous year, a decrease of 27,000
The number of "ultra-high-net-worth families" with assets of 100 million yuan decreased by 3.8% over the previous year, a decrease of 5,200
The number of "international ultra-high-net-worth families" with assets of US$30 million decreased by 4.5% to 4,100
I have an observation that there are only 1.85 million households with 6 million "investable assets" (excluding self-housing), which is not as many as 10 million in assets, and only 1.1 million households with 10 million "investable assets".
What does this mean?
It shows that half of the people who have tens of millions of assets on their books, excluding expensive self-housing, are actually "pseudo-multimillionaires"
Not to mention the glamorous middle-class and wealthy people, whose wealth is tightly tied to their own homes
What does the official say about this phenomenon?
Hurun boils down to three reasons:
1. The impact of the epidemic
2. The evolution of the international geopolitical landscape affects the uncertainty of the global economy
3. Domestic economic development continues to face challenges and fluctuations
None of this is denied, but is that the whole truth? Is it true that the rich have really decreased so much?
Not necessarily, but it is also possible that the rich have "run away".
According to public reports, a number of China's top billionaires have transferred more than a trillion yuan of assets to offshore trusts. Before the thunderstorm, Evergrande also transferred 200 billion assets overseas and applied for bankruptcy protection overseas
In 2023, about 13,500 billionaires in Chinese mainland quietly moistened, ranking first in the global net outflow ranking
Yes, many top rich people have an "escape plan" behind them, and the huge amount of wealth accumulated by the dividends of the times before has not played the role of "the first rich lead the latter to become rich", so they secretly ran away
really responded to that sentence, "The poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the rich and the rich change their nationality......
Looking back at the reality, the rich are running, the middle class is saving themselves, and the bottom is falling, which is a little embarrassing......
By the way, there is another interesting point in the report, did you find it?
About 8% of households with tens of millions of assets are professional stockholders, while only 6% are speculators
About 14% of the households with assets of 100 million yuan are professional stockholders, and only 7% are speculators
Looking at it this way, speculating in stocks and getting rich is not a small road now, but it has become Yangguan Avenue
After all, in the composition of "high-net-worth families" with tens of millions of assets, the proportion of professional shareholders and real estate investors has decreased by 2% compared with last year, but the proportion of gold-collar investors has increased by 4% compared with last year
So at this time, stock speculation and buying a house are not reliable, only honest part-time work to make money, become a gold collar, is the most stable destination!
Without further ado, I continued to work part-time
