In a first, people in China who rank in the 10% of wealth around the world now outnumber Americans in that select group, highlighting the ongoing tilt in global wealth toward Asia. The U.S. has 99 million of its citizens in the top 10%, while China has leapfrogged ahead with 100 million citizens in the group, according to a new report on global wealth from Credit Suisse. "Since 2008, emerging economies including China have accounted for two-thirds of the real wealth gain," the investment bank said in a blog post. "The 'new world' is taking over as the engine of global advancement, while the influence of the 'old world' is waning."
