With 384,500 wealthy people (including 818 resident centi-millionaires and 66 billionaires), New York tops the top 50 list of the world’s richest cities in 2025, established by Henley & Partners and New World Wealth, who have published their fourth annual report. It is followed by the Greater Bay Area (San Francisco and Silicon Valley) with 342,400 resident millionaires. It now has more billionaires (82) than the Big Apple and continues to thrive as the epicenter of technology wealth creation, showing exceptional growth of 98% in the number of millionaires over the past decade. Tokyo consolidates its third place with 292,300 millionaires. Singapore occupies fourth place with 242,400 resident millionaires, while Los Angeles (220,600 millionaires, including 516 centi-millionaires and 45 billionaires) snatches fifth place from London. No African city is in this top.
