The wealthy are certainly a limited class. There are around 36 million millionaires in the world meaning there is a 1 in 200 chance of getting there.
Billionaires are a much rarer type of animal. With just over 2,000 of them on the planet, the chances drop to .00003%.
25 Countries with the most billionaires:
Today’s infographic comes to us from TitleMax, and it shows the 25 countries with the most billionaires in them. It also covers the richest person in each of these countries, as well
The top 10 countries:
Although the United States has the most billionaires by a large margin, the country ranks 6th in terms of billionaire concentration.
In the U.S., there is one billionaire for every 571,858 people, but it is beat out in this measurement by Hong Kong (110k), Switzerland (233k), Singapore (267k), Sweden (319k), and Israel (475k).
There are 100+ countries that do not have any billionaires. Some countires like Haiti and Ethopia have zero millionaires.

Ahhh, not a lot of chance to get there, huh? Haha, I guess it's not about chance really. It's about taking massive action and having a success mindset. But not a lot of people have it. Actually, it's quite rare for people to have it...
2000 billionaires on the planet!!! this shows the huge gap between the rich and the poor. These I believe can finance half the world's budgets.. all this massive wealth among just over 2000 people. And this gap doesn't seem to be get a little closer in the next few years to come. The poor always get poorer and the rich will continue getting richer because it's them that get the opportunities that return huge sums of money.
There is no surprise in the fact that more than 100 countries have no billionaires, because they are not many, but worrisome is the fact that countries like Haiti and Ethiopia have zero millionaires, this almost makes you think how is that possible with such good percentages (1 in every 200).
If we think about odds like you started the post, its much better to be on Hong Kong to become Billionaire.
Thanks for sharing

Would be interesting to extend this data with the capital origin statistics.
Richest: Jeff Bezos ($110.7 Billion). Not surprised. Also I think there should be a category of “Wealth obtained by fraud or corruption”. Wait where is Japan? I'm surprised by Japan's lack of billionaires, despite being the third largest economy still.

Henry Sy of the Philippines has an interesting story. He is from poor to bollionaire. He is a shoe maker who start repairing shoe and making shoe for sale. Then a year after he afford to run his first shoe store known as shoemart. Then year after it become SM Supermalls. Then from store he expands his network to transport, real state, logistic and etc... His secret, he live a humble and simple life. He don't actually work but use other people to make him wealthy. He believe in a saying "divide and conquer". He hire the suitable person for a job, not the best. Unfortunately, there salary is only minimum and working more than 9 hours a day including holidays and weekends. In that strategy he made his billion.
Go Gina, repping for Australia. At the height of the mining boom she was worth around $18 billion for her coal and iron ore assets.
And that is why USA #1. Consider that a lot of those guys could buy every bitcoin and have money left over.
