Millionaires Club Grows

You can add another extra zero to the ranks of the millionaires club. Around the world, the number of people with at least $1 million in assets passed 10 million for the first time last year. This was according to a new report. Not only that but their bank accounts are growing even faster. The combined wealth of the globe's millionaires grew to nearly $41 trillion last year. This is an increase of 9 percent from a year before according to Merrill Lynch & Co. Do you know that means their average wealth was more than $4 million, the highest it has ever been? Right now I could be very happy with any amount from $1,000 to $5,000 to $10,000. I would be tickled pink to be handed that kind of money.
