Number of ultra-rich Singapore residents to soar by 54% by 2024

Singapore has the highest UHNWI population growth rate.

There will be almost 5,000 ultra-high net worth individuals (UHNWIs) living in Singapore by the year 2024, Knight Frank’s Wealth Report 2015 showed today.

The study revealed that Singapore will have the steepest UHNWI population growth rate globally, with 1,752 UHNWIs expected to troop to the city-state within the next decade.

These individuals will add to Singapore’s current population of 3,227 UHNWIs.

“The geographic concentration of wealth remains a key trend – with 10% of all additional growth in UHNWIs taking place in just five cities – Singapore, Hong Kong, New York, London and Mumbai over the next decade,” said Liam Bailey, Global Head of Research at Knight Frank.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

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