Wealth-X is pleased to partner with UBS in presenting the inaugural Wealth-X and UBS Billionaire Census, the rst comprehensive study on the worlds billionaire population.
The Wealth-X and UBS Billionaire Census is the second publication in this partnership, following the launch of the Wealth-X and UBS World Ultra Wealth Report 2013. UBS provides its expert commentary to complement Wealth-Xs data on the global ultra high net worth (UHNW) population, demonstrating a true collaboration between the global leader in wealth management and the worlds leading UHNW intelligence provider. The Wealth-X and UBS Billionaire Census is the rst in-depth and denitive analysis of this ultra affluent tier by region, country and gender, composed by using Wealth-Xs extensive database of hand-curated intelligence. The Wealth-X and UBS Billionaire Census reveals that, as of 2013, there are 2,170 billionaires globally, with a combined net worth of US$6.5 trillion. The billionaire population has increased by 60 percent from its size during the global nancial crisis in 2009. Their total combined wealth rose to US$6.5 trillion in 2013 from US$3.1 trillion in 2009. We believe it is, therefore, timely to publish a report that examines the state of the worlds billionaire population and their wealth tiers; sources of wealth and how male and female billionaires acquire their fortunes; the size of their families; and the value of the social graph of their ultra wealthy connections. The report also reveals the average net worth of the typical billionaire, breaking down his or her fortune by asset type. The passions, lifestyles and philanthropic interests of the ultra wealthy intrigue us. This report looks at the most popular hobbies among billionaires; how much of their wealth is invested in real estate and how many houses they own on average; and how much of their fortunes is spent on luxury holdings like yachts and private jets. It also lists the top 10 universities in terms of billionaire alumni, who have an astounding combined net worth of US$863 billion. Finally, the report looks at the increased philanthropic activities among the billionaire class that signal what some have called the second golden age of philanthropy. The Wealth-X and UBS Billionaire Census forecasts that the global billionaire population will increase by 1,700 individuals to nearly 3,900 by the year 2020. The rise in this ultra affluent tier presents immense business opportunities, making this report essential reading for those who want to understand and engage the worlds most commercially signicant segment.
Although the path to economic recovery remains difficult, the top end of the Ultra High Net Worth (UHNW) segment continues to grow its wealth. Together, these individuals now have a combined net worth of US$6.5 trillion worldwide. This makes the billionaire segment interesting to any bank with a strategic UHNW foothold. Yet billionaire clients have particularly complex demands, and the challenge lies in providing them with the right offering to help them achieve their nancial goals. Billionaire clients expect professional, customised advice on the issues that matter most to them whether its investing, succession planning or philanthropy. They also seek providers with extensive, world-class, global capabilities that can meet their needs for multi-shoring opportunities and swift execution. To serve such clients effectively, banks must give them full access to the entire range of their capabilities across their various divisions and locations.
UBS has a strong global UHNW business with more than 1,000 dedicated professionals in 21 locations worldwide. We aim to develop a comprehensive understanding of each billionaires individual circumstances and employ a tailored approach that takes all relevant factors into consideration. Dedicated specialist teams from our Wealth Management and Investment Bank business divisions around the globe nd the appropriate solutions and ensure their seamless execution. We invest continuously to develop our offering and platforms. By doing so, we believe that we are well positioned to cater for the exacting needs of this client group and to grow along with it. We are pleased to partner with Wealth-X in jointly presenting the Wealth-X and UBS Billionaire Census, which provides comprehensive insights on the composition and dynamics of this group of individuals.
Reading nancial news every day can easily induce short-termism, with high frequency economic data, sudden intra-day price moves, and quarterly earnings releases underlining an environment where performance is already marked to market on a daily basis. This is mirrored in corporate executives and politicians, where short-term behavior can be driven by shareholder impatience or weekly approval ratings. But short-termism can lead individuals to miss the proverbial woods for the trees. From its nadir in March 2009 through the end of 2012, the S&P 500 gained over 120 percent, thanks to an improving economy and extraordinary central bank support. Yet many investors remained un- or under-invested in equities, in part because they focused on shortterm shocks such as the US losing its AAA rating, the episodes of the Eurozone debt crisis, and concerns that China faced nancial disaster. This is not to trivialise these concerns, nor the money that investors lost as equity markets sold off in reaction to bad news. Instead, it highlights how the ability to think over a longer term horizon can be a signicant investment advantage. This is an advantage enjoyed by many of the UHNW clients that I serve, and it allows them to explore and identify long-term secular trends affecting many industries and geographies. Five specic trends to consider are improving agricultural efficiency, increasing rates of obesity, growing water scarcity, ageing populations, and the shift to robotics and automation.
First, while the total area of arable land in Asia has grown by some 10 percent over the past 20 years, strong population growth has meant arable land per capita has fallen by around 17 percent. Furthermore, per capita food consumption is still growing, driven by economic development and urbanisation. Over time, these trends should benet companies that help increase agricultural yields through agricultural equipment, agrichemicals, and genetic modication. Meanwhile, globally, the overweight and obese now outnumber the underfed, a trend impacting both developed and developing countries. Obesity has been linked to disease and illness, and will likely become a focus of public policy in the years ahead. Drugs that can help manage the consequences of obesity, such as diabetes, should see increased demand, and companies promoting health and weight management, sporting goods, and healthy foods could also benet from more health conscious consumers. Water infrastructure is another long-term growth area, driven by population growth, urbanisation, and climate change. Currently, little more than half of the global population live in urban areas, but this percentage will increase to 60 percent by 2030, according to UN estimates. To accommodate this growing urban population, cities will need to make substantial investments in water infrastructure to provide sufficient water supply and ensure water quality. Further, climate change inuences the quality, quantity and timing of water delivery, often meaning existing water gathering
infrastructure requires relocating. Agriculture is a large water consumer, and the ever increasing demand for agricultural products also entails investment in irrigation and distribution infrastructure. Even today, networks are already strained and suffer chronic underinvestment. And by 2020, 60 percent of all main water pipes in the US are expected to be classied as sub-standard by 2020. Fourth, gains in life expectancy are starting to slow, while the global population continues to grow strongly and age rapidly. The combination of these factors means the number of people dying each year is expected to grow at over 1 percent per annum over the next decade, higher than any decade since at least the 1970s. This trend will likely increase the demand for crematoriums and funeral homes, demand which should be increased further still by ongoing urbanization. Finally, underlying demand for robotics and automation continues to grow, supported by ageing and rising emerging market wages. Replacing humans with machines leads to improved productivity and often higher quality work, with advances in articial intelligence, motors, hydraulics, sensors, and machine vision allowing robots to be used more often in manufacturing, services, and even extremely high value uses like human augmentation and robotic surgery.
Besides a longer term investment horizon, a second signicant investment advantage for many UHNW, including billionaire clients in todays environment is a relatively limited need for liquidity. This allows them to allocate more to less liquid structures such as private equity and hedge funds, thus benetting from the additional returns typically paid to compensate for their relative illiquidity. This is particularly benecial in todays post-Lehman, liquidity-focused world. Marrying the ability to think long term and the ability to harvest illiquidity premiums can lead to an extremely powerful investment advantage and superior investment returns.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The worlds population of billionaires continues to grow; between July 2012 and June 2013, the number of billionaires has increased by 0.5 percent and their total wealth has risen by 5.3 percent. The combined net worth of billionaires is US$6.5 trillion, more than the GDP of every country except the United States and China. Asia is the region that is driving the tectonic shifts in wealth; the total billionaire wealth in Asia has increased by 13 percent, the fastest of any region. Asia has also contributed the largest number of additional billionaires (18) to the list this year. Europe was the only region to suffer a decline in the population of billionaires, although the total wealth of all billionaires has increased in every region. Since the nancial market bottomed out in March 2009 following the global nancial crisis, the total wealth of billionaires has more than doubled from US$3.1 trillion to US$6.5 trillion. The billionaire population in 2013 is also 60 percent higher than in 2009, at 2,170.

Every region increased in wealth terms, with Asia the fastest growing at 12.9 percent. Although Europe was the only region to suffer a decline in its billionaire population, Latin America was the slowest growing region in terms of wealth, increasing by just 2.3 percent. In the last year, the wealth of billionaires often moved inversely with the rest of the UHNW individuals from the region.
For example, whilst Latin American UHNW saw their wealth decline by 3.4 percent, billionaires increased theirs by 2.3 percent. In contrast, European billionaires increased their wealth by 3.7 percent, despite UHNW individuals from the region recording a 10.4 percent increase in wealth over the same time period.

The worlds billionaire population currently totals 2,170, with a combined net worth of over US$6.5 trillion. The average wealth of billionaires is US$3 billion. Globally, there are 111 individuals who each have a net worth above US$10 billion; the collective net worth of this group is over US$1.9 trillion, greater than the GDP of Canada.
Fifty four per cent of billionaires have a net worth of between US$1 billion and US$2 billion, however, account for less than a quarter of the total wealth of billionaires.

Self-made billionaires make up 60 percent of the population while 20 percent have inherited their wealth. Another 20 percent have part-inherited and part-made their own fortunes. Globally, all of the four mega-billionaires, who each have a net worth of more than US$50 billion, are self-made individuals. These mega-billionaires are Bill Gates, Carlos Slim, Amancio Ortega and Warren Buffet. First generation wealth constitutes US$3.8 trillion of global UHNW fortunes, presenting signicant opportunities for nancial advisors and family offices.
15
87 percent of billionaires are male, just slightly below the 88 percent for UHNW individuals generally, according to the Wealth-X and UBS World Ultra Wealth Report 2013.
The average wealth of a female billionaire is slightly higher than that of the average male, at US$3.2 billion, as compared to US$3.0 billion. Although this difference of US$200 million is clearly considerable, it only amounts to a difference of less than 10 percent of net worth.

There are large disparities between male and female billionaires when it comes to their source of wealth. Overall, self-made billionaires dominate, at 60 percent of the population. However, only 17 percent of female billionaires are self-made, with an astounding 71 percent inheriting their wealth.
For female UHNW individuals, 53 percent inherited their wealth. As an increasing number of younger, entrepreneurial women continue to build their fortunes, Wealth-X predicts that, over time, fewer female billionaires will derive their wealth from inherited money.
16
FAMILY SIZE
The average billionaire has 2.1 children, a slightly lower gure than the 2.2 children that is the average for UHNW individuals. Fifteen percent of billionaires have four or more children, although there are several billionaires with eight, nine or even ten children (and one Middle Eastern billionaire with a staggering 24 children!). The chart below shows a breakdown of the worlds billionaire population by the number of children they have.

It should also be noted as 86% of the billionaire population is married that spouses often play a pivotal role in the success of their partners. Indeed, the husbands and wives of successful billionaires will often act as important advisors, impacting many key decisions and overseeing various initiatives and activities for example, running a joint private foundation responsible for philanthropy.

The United States remains the billionaire capital of the world, with over three times more billionaires than in China, which ranks second. China now has the worlds second largest billionaire population, however, the combined wealth of German billionaires remains higher. The top 10 billionaire countries account for 66 percent of the worlds billionaires, highlighting the concentration of the super rich into a select few hot spots.

New York remains the business city of choice for the worlds billionaires. This is dened by where their primary businesses are headquartered. Asia takes eight out of the top 20 spots for billionaire cities, the most for any region in the world. Moscow accounts for over two thirds of Russias billionaires. The total number of billionaires who are based in the top 20 cities is 661, representing 30 percent of the worlds billionaires.
19
The average billionaire is incredibly well connected, with a social circle worth US$15 billion ve times the net worth of the average billionaire. This gure is based on a calculation of the net worth of only the three top connections of billionaires, and so it is likely to be even higher when considering the number of UHNW individuals the average billionaire interacts with while attending various meetings, dinners, and events.
Factoring in all of the connections between the worlds billionaires, this equates to a total social circle worth a combined US$33 trillion, almost double the national debt of the United States.

The average billionaire is worth US$3.0 billion with a liquidity of 18 percent, equal to US$545 million in cash and other liquid assets per person. This liquidity cushion of over half a billion dollars is higher than it was before the global nancial crisis of ve years ago, suggesting that the old mantra of cash is king remains as relevant as ever. Private holdings still form the largest component of a typical billionaires wealth, with an average of over a US$1 billion in publicly-held companies on top of this. The breakdown of the average billionaires wealth can be seen below:

As reported in the Wealth-X and UBS World Ultra Wealth Report 2013, there are 50 percent more demi-billionaires (dened as those with a net worth of between US$500 and US$999 million) than billionaires, although with a lower combined wealth of US$2.6 trillion.

By modelling the Wealth-X ve year forecasted average increase in UHNW wealth of 5.4 percent on to the existing demi-billionaire population, over three quarters of this population will reach billionaire status in the next seven years.
Wealth-X predicts that by the year 2020, the global billionaire population will increase by 1,700 individuals to nearly 3,900 globally, as shown in the chart on the next page.

The model used to calculate this is based only on existing demibillionaires. When taking into account those not yet worth US$500 million, the increase in the billionaire population is likely to be even higher. For example, many technopreneurs continue to increase their wealth rapidly, and are able to achieve billionaire status in the span of only a few years. Furthermore, some of the billionaires in the year 2020 will most likely still be enrolled in university or even high school today.
23
The total amount of charitable gifts donated by the ultra rich has increased signicantly in recent years, ushering in what some refer to as the second golden age of philanthropy from UHNW individuals, the rst being in the early 20th century when the likes of Andrew Carnegie rst gave away hundreds of millions of dollars. This recent trend has been spurred by the high prole Giving Pledge campaign started in 2010 by two of the wealthiest people in the world, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet which has succeeded in getting over 100 billionaires from all over the world to pledge a majority of their wealth to charity. In general, UHNW individuals have exhibited a greater interest in philanthropy, and particularly in transferring successful business principles and analytics to charity, ensuring that the highest return on investment is achieved even in the non-prot sector.
In the last three years, it is estimated that billionaires have donated a total of US$69 billion, equivalent to US$32 million per billionaire. The US remains the country with the largest number of billionaire donors, ahead of China, the UK, Russia and Canada. There are more European billionaire donors than Asian donors, who on average are younger and still in wealth accumulation mode. As succession plans loom for many rst generation Asian billionaires, we expect an increase in giving. Education remains the top cause for major giving, dened as gifts worth US$1 million and above. Notable gifts from billionaires this year include those from Michael Bloomberg who donated US$350 million to John Hopkins University, Charlie Munger who pledged US$110 million to the University of Michigan, and Samuel Yin who donated US$100 million to the Tang Prize Foundation.

As featured in The Wealth-X Global University UHNW Alumni Rankings Special Report in February 2013, Harvard University has the largest pool of billionaire alumni. The UKs Cambridge University is the only institution in the top 10 list from outside of the US. The 206 billionaire graduates from these 10 universities have a combined net worth of US$863 billion, which is 8 times greater than the combined endowments of their alma maters.
This presents an invaluable opportunity for fundraising for these elite universities. 68 percent of billionaires have at least a bachelors-level degree, above national averages in even the most educated countries, but below the comparable gure of 86 percent for UHNW individuals overall. These gures suggest that while education may help a person become a UHNW individual, it is not a prerequisite to then go on and amass a billion dollar fortune.

The total real estate holdings of the worlds billionaires are estimated to be US$169 billion, or an average of US$78 million per billionaire. The average billionaire owns four homes, with each one worth nearly US$20 million. Real estate holdings represent 2.6 percent of the average billionaires net worth. Despite popular notions of billionaires being jet-setting, cosmopolitan individuals, the report shows that most of them are still based in the same locations where they were raised.
The following shows the breakdown: 23 percent of all billionaires have the same home city as the city of their primary business 39 percent of all billionaires have the same home state as the state of their primary business 75 percent of all billionaires have the same home country as the country of their primary business. This last statistic varies widely depending on the country. Billionaire hotspots such as Singapore, Switzerland and Hong Kong have emerged as favoured destinations for the ultra rich. However, only 36, 34, and 25 percent of their billionaire populations respectively, grew up in these countries. Conversely, 86 percent of Chinese billionaires and 95 percent of Indian billionaires who currently have their primary business in China and India, respectively, also grew up there.

As the richest and most powerful group of people in the world, billionaires move in tight social circles. Many within this group of global elite congregate year after year at the worlds most exclusive events, usually known for their glamour, extravagance, political signicance, or all three. These range from the likes of the annual World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, where wealthy business and political leaders meet to shape and improve the state of the world, right through to the yearly Cannes Film Festival, synonymous as a fabulous melting pot of the worlds glitterati.
Time and space are rarely boundaries for the worlds billionaires, many of whom have a private jet or two, a super yacht and other comfortable and speedy modes of transport, not to mention several homes dotted around the globe. As a result, billionaires will travel the circuit during busy times in the social calendar. Billionaire art collectors may for example, it from Hong Kongs art fair in May to the Venice Biennale at the start of June, to Switzerlands Art Basel, the week after.

Despite being the only region to suffer a fall in the population of billionaires, Europe remains home to the largest number of billionaires in the world.
The population of billionaires fell by over 3.5 percent, but total wealth still grew by 3.7 percent. Facilitated by easing market sentiment towards the Eurozone debt problems, the euro rose by over 3 percent against the dollar since the middle of last year and major European indices were up by over 10 percent (FTSE 100, DAX, CAC 40). Despite positive market sentiment, GDP in the region is still struggling to grow.
Eurozone GDP shrunk by 0.6 percent in 2012, according to the IMF, although it did record its rst growth in 18 months of 0.3 percent in Q2 2013. With 25 percent of European billionaires inheriting their fortunes, the notion of old money pervading Europe is well-founded. Europe is second only to Latin America when it comes to inherited wealth.

Luxembourg has twice as many billionaires per capita as any other country in the world due to its low tax environment and small population. Switzerland has the 10th largest billionaire population and the third largest billionaire population per capita in the world. The top 8 countries are all small business-friendly countries with a population below 10 million.
34 percent of billionaires in Switzerland are women, the highest of all the featured focus countries and the second highest in the world.

The growth of Germanys billionaires represents strong demand for Europes largest economy and the movement of the super wealthy to the Eurozone core, away from the fringes. The largest number of European billionaires, 148, are based in Germany. The country also has the third largest number of billionaires in the world. Despite being placed in third position for the number of billionaires globally, the total wealth of German billionaires is higher than that of second-placed China at US$432 billion.
Forty six percent of German billionaires inherited their fortunes, the highest of all focus countries featured. Only 33 percent are self-made. For German billionaires, manufacturing is the most signicant industry.

Asia is where the largest number of newly-minted billionaires are based; since July 2012, there have been 18 new billionaires created in Asia with a total wealth of US$136 billion.
Since July 2012, the increase in the net worth of Asian billionaires has more than doubled that of North American billionaires. Although the overall basket of Asian currencies is up slightly against the US dollar in the last year, the Yen has lost 20 percent of its value, helping explain the surprisingly low number of Japanese billionaires. Five of the top ten countries with the highest percentage of self-made billionaires are from Asia.

METHODOLOGY
Billionaires are dened as individuals with a net worth of at least US$1 billion (after accounting for shares in public and private companies, residential and passion investments such as art, planes and real estate). Demi-billionaires are dened as individuals with a net worth of between US$500 and US$999 million. Billionaires whose wealth source is labelled as inheritance/self-made refers to those whose initial fortunes are derived from inheritance, but have proceeded to create wealth on their own. UHNW philanthropy includes all major gifts (dened as gifts worth US$1 million and above) and excludes future pledges.
