The question of where the oligarchs live is quite extensive. Most often these people have many houses, apartments, estates, villas, cottages, mansions and the like. Nevertheless, Forbes magazine managed to fix the density of living of billionaires in the cities of the world. The capital of our state for the fourth time was the most attractive for the oligarchs. With each year, their number is only increasing: in 2013, Moscow acquired real estate 6 more people. Total, to date, in the capital of Russia registered 84 residences of billionaires. The second in the list of Forbes, the city where the oligarchs live in the largest number, is New York. Here there are 62 real estate objects in which the richest families of the world live. The third place of honor was shared between London and Hong Kong, with 43 oligarchs in their population.
But this is statistical data on cities. If you look at the countries in In general, then the absolute leader of states where oligarchs live is the United States. This list is headed by the country for 27 years with stable indicators: about a quarter of billionaires around the world. This figure has not changed since 1987 and the exact percentage of the oligarchs living in the US is 31. With a total sum of states, about 2 trillion dollars. The second prize place is occupied by China, although fifteen years ago there was not a single billionaire behind this country. Now in the Forbes magazine's list of 122 businessman-oligarchs are Chinese. The third place is occupied by the Russian Federation. 110 millionaires have been officially registered in our country. Also in the last decade, the location on the mainland, where the oligarchs live, has changed. If Europe occupied the second position after North America , now it was replaced by Asia and the Pacific.
There is another rating. In the center of London is a street on which only the houses of the oligarchs are located. For others, living here is impossible. Its name is Kensington palace gardens, more it is known under the unofficial name of Street of millionaires. This small street, its length hardly exceeds 800 meters, is considered the most expensive place in the world. Houses on the street Kensington palace gardens are extremely rare. Local elite real estate companies are exclusively engaged in real estate, and the names of sellers and buyers, as well as the amount of transactions are discussed in whispers in VIP-clubs.
Now about the famous "ten". As you know, five out of the ten richest people in the world have American citizenship, two are French, one is a Hong Kong resident, one is a Spaniard, and the richest man on Earth is a Mexican. The famous investor Warren Buffett (USA) has conceded its honorable first place to Carlos Slim Elu - the owner of "America Movil" - the Latin American telecommunications empire. In addition to its core business, the Mexican oligarch makes business in the banking, coal mining, shares in The New York Times, real estate, tobacco production and sales, and has several leading football clubs. Last year, he acquired a mansion in New York in 1901. This transaction was the largest in the market of New York real estate.
