[quote=\"WeiHan\"]This report is probably true.


However, the figure includes new immigrants and PRs. Many of these come from financially troubled western nations to prevent their wealth from being taxed by their governments. As you may know, the root cause of western financial crisis is over spending through unsustainable public debt for social programs.

Example of these riches that have migrated to singapore recently are co founder of facebook etc....

From the way coe high even though most of us agree it is crazy price...yes, a lot of hidden wealth.

That fb guy...I think he cover for a lot of SG already

Oh boy, with that kind of money.. [/quote]If the survey is properly done, the fb guy should be considered 1 household only. They are not talking about average wealth of Singaporean household, they are talking about how many households are millionaires. So, even if a household has billions, it is only 1 household which is a milliionaire (or billionaire).

There are alot of aged 40-50s and also the very bold young ones who have made their $$ from property investments, but it is indeed unbelievable that there are so many millionaires in S’pore.

I wonder what is the definition of household income-total $$ of all at home?
