The richest in London include multimillion-dollar Rausing family members, who own the company’s packaging Tetra Laval and the landowner in the District of Chelsea Charles Cadogan.
“London has a very unique proposal,” said Liam Bailey, global director of residential research for Knight Frank. “There is no other city that compares as a global hub for many different sectors.”
Last year, the world had almost 200,000 individuals with a very high net worth, according to the study on richness of the runner, with more than two-thirds of them in Asia, Europe and North America. Europe is the largest regional centre for this population worldwide, while the rise of Asian economies means that this year the world will have for the first time more than 20 million people with a heritage of at least $1 million.
