Singapore becomes APAC’s third-richest billionaire market

The city-state's billionaire wealth rose 66.4% to $335.4 b in 2025.

Singapore’s billionaire wealth rose to $335.36b (USD258.8b) in 2025, an increase of 66.4% year-on-year (YoY), according to UBS’s Billionaire Ambitions Report 2025. The rise pushed Singapore ahead of Australia to become the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region’s third-largest billionaire market.

The report showed that Singapore’s total billionaire wealth expanded by almost two-thirds from $201.50b (USD155.5b) in 2024, reflecting a sharp increase in high-net-worth inflows and market gains.

Wealth rankings place Singapore behind Mainland China and Hong Kong SAR but ahead of Australia, which posted a 5.4% increase in billionaire wealth.

Six individuals joined Singapore’s billionaire list during the year, marking one of the strongest annual expansions among regional markets, according to the report.

UBS attributes the increase to broader regional wealth momentum, noting that APAC billionaire wealth rose 11.1% overall.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
