Wealth creation has leveled off in America. China continues to mint high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) at a torrid pace. Among HNWIs, the ranks of the richest of the rich have grown at an even faster rate. There are now about 116,000 of these ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), compared with 7,000 in 2006.

Good info, thanks. But since capitalism is the wealth creation engine … to all, not just the HNWIs … and Xi is now pissing on capitalism, I still think America has the upper hand.
