Few years ago, I did a back-of-the-envelop calculation using Pareto Principle to make a list of countries that have at least a million people with a PPP annual income of a million dollars. The exercise gave me 48 countries. Then I ran a rough cross-check and it seemed to check out. Then I wrote down my findings in this post.

That was towards the end of last decade. I am using it now to globally roll out my company, Amura Health.

Today, I used the same methodology to quickly calculate how many trillionaires will be there in the world by end of the current decade, or 2030. Here is what I ended with:

By 2030 the world will have

• 500,000 people with a net worth of $1m
• 100,000 people with a net worth of $100m
• 35,000 people wit a net worth of $1b
• 5,000 people with a net worth of $5b
• 1,000 people with a net worth of $25b
• 150 people with a net worth of $100b
• 25 people with a net worth of $0.5t
• 5 people with a net worth of $1t
• 1 person with a net worth of $10t

Let us see how it goes!
