百萬富翁將掌控世界近一半的財富

Millionaires to control nearly half the world's wealth soon

Nearly half of the planet's wealth will be in the hands of millionaires by the end of this decade, according to a new study.

一項新的研究顯示，到2020年，百萬富翁手中將會掌握全球將近一半的財富。

Millionaires worldwide held 41% of the world's private wealth in 2014, up slightly from the year before, according to the Global Wealth 2015 report from Boston Consulting Group. And millionaires will hold 46% of total wealth by 2019, the report says.

波士頓咨詢集團的2015年全球財富報告顯示，在2014年，全球的百萬富翁掌控了世界上41%的私人財富，略高于2013年。而該報告又稱，到2019年，百萬富翁將掌控世界總財富的46%。

The number of millionaires worldwide increased to 17 million in 2014, up about 2 million from the year before. China accounted for about half of that increase, taking that country's total to about 4 million. But the United States still has more millionaires than any other country, with 7 million.

全球百萬富翁的數量在2014年增加到1700萬，比2013年增長了約200萬。中國百萬富翁總數達到約400萬，其增速約占全球總增速的一半。但美國依然比其他國家擁有更多的百萬富翁，有700萬。

The report says that private wealth grew the fastest in the Asia-Pacific region which was five times the rate that it increased in North America. Total private wealth globally increased by 12% in 2014 to $164.3 trillion, helped by gains in stocks around the world. That is expected to reach $222.1 trillion by 2019.

報告指出，亞太地區私人財富增長最快，其增長速度是北美的五倍。由于全球股市的上漲，在2014年度，全球私人財富總量增加了12%至164.3萬億美元。到2019年，該財富總量有望達到222.1萬億美元。

The report qualifies private wealth as relatively liquid holdings such as cash, stock and bonds. Other assets which are more difficult to monetize, such as real estate and business ownership, are excluded from the calculation.

該報告將現金、股票和債券等相對流動性資產歸為私人財富，房地產和商業所有權等難以貨幣化的資產沒有被計算在內。
