Era evidente que en algún lugar tenía que estar todo lo que se nos está “recortando”
“Este ha sido un año de récords con 214 nuevo multimillonarios”, subrayó la revista Forbes al contabilizar 1.210 personas con un patrimonio superior a los mil millones de dólares.
Las cifras son apabullantes, más aún en el contexto de la actual recesión. La fortuna media de los multimillonarios es de 3.700 millones de dólares, 200 millones más que en 2010, y 700 millones más que en 2009. El monto total de las fortunas, calcula Forbes, es de 4,5 billones de dólares, un récord respecto a años anteriores.
Entre los 20 más ricos, todos excepto uno, han ganado más dinero que en el año anterior.
