If you hope to become a billionaire, the United States may be the best place to live. That's one obvious conclusion from Forbes' newly released list of billionaires for 2018.
From a global perspective, the old adage that the rich get richer didn't quite work out last year. There were a total of 2,153 billionaires at the end of 2018, 55 fewer than at the beginning of the year. As happens every year, some--including 21-year-old Kylie Jenner--went from being non-billionaires to billionaires during 2018, while others lost their billionaire status and fell off the list. Last year 247 billionaires became non-billionaires. That's the most to do so since 2009, in the depths of the Great Recession. And of those who both started and ended the year as billionaires, 46 percent have lower net worth than they did at the beginning of the year.
If you dream about being a billionaire, go to America. Everyone in Europe wants to tax you to death.
