What could be better than being a millionaire and having the luxury of owning big mansions, flashy cars, and a lavish lifestyle? A billion dollars. There

\n\n

are roughly 3000 billionaires worldwide, but there are hotspots. The majority of them reside in the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and Europe, with certain cities being the hottest in these hotspots. There are cities around the world housing more billionaires than others, and when ranked, two Indian cities secure spots in the top ten. Two decades ago, billionaire wealth was mostly Western, but today, with Asia’s billionaire count growing faster than Europe's, the global wealth centre is steadily shifting east. India alone has hundreds of billionaires, with certain cities dominating. The Hurun Global Rich List 2025, which remains the latest global billionaire city list, shows the top ten cities in the world with the largest number of billionaires. Cities with the Most Billionaires 1. New York City, USA – 129 Billionaires New York City continues to dominate as the world’s billionaire capital in 2026. As home to Wall Street, global hedge funds, private equity giants, and major multinational headquarters, NYC remains the epicentre of financial wealth. Apart from finance, billionaires in NYC also come from the property, media, fashion, and tech industries. 2. London, United Kingdom – 97 Billionaires Despite the economic challenges London has faced in the past few years, the city is still the wealth hub of Europe. The city’s billionaire base spans finance, global commodities, luxury brands, property empires, and international investments. 3. Shanghai, China – 92 Billionaires Shanghai has long established itself as China’s commercial and financial powerhouse. Billionaires in Shanghai largely come from advanced manufacturing, technology, e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, and infrastructure. 4. Beijing, China – 91 Billionaires Beijing remains the epicentre of technology and innovation in China. The city houses many of the country’s tech founders, AI companies, and internet giants. 5. Mumbai, India – 90 Billionaires Mumbai is the financial capital of India. The city has been steadily climbing the ranks of the world’s wealthiest cities. Diversified conglomerates, pharmaceuticals, financial services, infrastructure, and energy industries fuel Mumbai’s billionaire network. The city has been able to close the gap with other major international financial hubs because of the evolution of its capital markets and the rising spirit of entrepreneurship. 6. Shenzhen, China – 85 Billionaires Known as China’s Silicon Valley, Shenzhen is the hub of technology and hardware startups. Shenzhen billionaires are mostly entrepreneurs who have established electronics, telecom, EV, and semiconductor companies. Shenzhen has fascinatingly emerged from a fishing village to one of the world’s prominent tech hubs in just a few decades. 7. Hong Kong – 74 Billionaires Hong Kong is an important financial hub that connects China with the rest of the world. Billionaires in this city are mainly involved in real estate, finance, logistics, and international trade. Hong Kong has become one of Asia’s most important wealth centres despite geopolitical and regulatory challenges. 8. Moscow, Russia – 69 Billionaires The billionaire base of Moscow is primarily concentrated in energy, metals, mining and heavy industry. Despite the sanctions and geopolitical tensions, Moscow has long been Russia’s financial and corporate headquarters hub, and holds a significant billionaire population. 9. New Delhi, India – 63 Billionaires The capital of India is another major wealth hub that has emerged in the past few decades. Billionaires in New Delhi are connected with infrastructure, telecom, real estate, manufacturing, and diversified family businesses. The emergence of New Delhi, along with Mumbai, highlights the importance of India in the global creation of wealth. 10. San Francisco, USA – 55 Billionaires The San Francisco Bay Area, aka Silicon Valley, is inextricably linked with technology wealth. Most San Francisco billionaires are either founders or early investors in technology, social media, AI, venture capital, and software companies. The region is still actively generating wealth through innovation-driven entrepreneurship.
