Shanghai has less rich people than Beijing

How to live like a Shanghai millionaire Despite Shanghai getting the reputation for being filled with rich people, it seems that there are actually more billionaires and millionaires in Beijing. According to the Hurun Report, a survey that specifically looks at the rich, there are now 143,000 multimillionaires and 8,800 billionaires in the capital city, compared to just 116,000 multimillionaires and 7,000 billionaires in Shanghai. Surprising, right? We guess this is why you've got to have 3 million RMB more to be considered a "new aristocrat" up north. Altogether, China has 825,000 people worth more than 10 million yuan and 51,000 individuals with over 100 million yuan.
