Content adapted from this Zerohedge.com article : Source
The wealthy are certainly a limited class. There are around 36 million millionaires in the world meaning there is a 1 in 200 chance of getting there.
Billionaires are a much rarer type of animal. With just over 2,000 of them on the planet, the chances drop to .00003%.
25 Countries with the most billionaires:
Today’s infographic comes to us from TitleMax, and it shows the 25 countries with the most billionaires in them. It also covers the richest person in each of these countries, as well
The top 10 countries:
Although the United States has the most billionaires by a large margin, the country ranks 6th in terms of billionaire concentration.
In the U.S., there is one billionaire for every 571,858 people, but it is beat out in this measurement by Hong Kong (110k), Switzerland (233k), Singapore (267k), Sweden (319k), and Israel (475k).
There are 100+ countries that do not have any billionaires. Some countires like Haiti and Ethopia have zero millionaires.

Ahhh, not a lot of chance to get there, huh? Haha, I guess it's not about chance really. It's about taking massive action and having a success mindset. But not a lot of people have it. Actually, it's quite rare for people to have it...
2000 billionaires on the planet!!! this shows the huge gap between the rich and the poor. These I believe can finance half the world's budgets.. all this massive wealth among just over 2000 people. And this gap doesn't seem to be get a little closer in the next few years to come. The poor always get poorer and the rich will continue getting richer because it's them that get the opportunities that return huge sums of money.
There is no surprise in the fact that more than 100 countries have no billionaires, because they are not many, but worrisome is the fact that countries like Haiti and Ethiopia have zero millionaires, this almost makes you think how is that possible with such good percentages (1 in every 200).
If we think about odds like you started the post, its much better to be on Hong Kong to become Billionaire.
Thanks for sharing
