Me on a springtime in the Richest City in the World, New York City, May 2008

This two-part blog entry is about myself in the richest city in the world — New York City. It’s also a part of my series of posts about my Big Apple experiences.

This blog post includes 65 images of myself in New York City on a springtime, sometime in May 2008, while the second part has 64 photos.

I’m absolutely — 100 percent — interested to discover what makes New York City the world’s wealthiest urban area and financial center. Thus, I wrote this blog entry today which I have always wanted to find the time to do so. I’ll update this post or write another related one later on.

According to the 2022 report ranking the 20 richest cities in the world by investment migration consultancy Henley and Partners, which advises the ultra-wealthy on citizenship and residency issues:

NEW YORK CITY . . . .

1. Is the wealthiest city on the planet.

2. Is home to more rich people than any other city in the world.

3. Boasts 59 billionaires, around 345,600 millionaires, alongside 15,470 multi-millionaires who have assets worth over US$10 million.

4. 737 centi-millionaires — or among the world’s richest with a wealth of US$100 million or more — also reside in the Big Apple.

5. Is the financial center of the United States and home to the world’s two largest stock exchanges by market capitalization, which are the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Exchange.

6. The financial center of the United States is recognized as the wealthiest city in the world by several measures.

7. The total private wealth held by New York residents was found to exceed US$3 trillion. Remarkably, that’s more than the total private wealth held in most major G-20 countries.

8. Around 4 percent of New York’s 8.38 million citizens own investable assets — property, cash or stocks — worth over US$1 million.

9. Janice McDill, communications manager at housing company Knock, said “New York is in the top decile of expensive markets, and it will continue to be in the top decile.”

Here are my 65 images at the world’s richest city:
