Billionaires and Well-Being

In 2026, China has approximately 539 billionaires in mainland China alone, with a combined wealth of about 2.2 trillion dollars. It is the second country in the world in terms of the number of billionaires, after the United States.

We are not talking about Musk's 1.2 trillion dollars, but China is still far behind the United States in terms of prosperity.

Therefore, objectively, I would conclude that where the world's richest people are found, there is economic progress and greater well-being, which is exactly the opposite of what is commonly believed.
