According to the BRICS Wealth Report by Henley & Partners , there are currently 549 billionaires, 4,716 centi-millionaires, and 1.6 million millionaires in the BRICS countries. China has the highest number of billionaires (305), centi-millionaires (2,352), and millionaires (862,400) in the BRICS bloc. India follows in second place with 120 billionaires, over 1,000 centi-millionaires, and 326,400 millionaires .

How does BRICS compare to other regions in terms of wealth?

According to a report by Statista , the BRICS bloc (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) is the most influential union of developing economies in the world and is increasingly considered the leading geopolitical challenge to the G7. The report also states that the BRICS countries have a combined GDP of over $30 trillion, which represents around 29% of the world’s GDP .

To compare the GDP of BRICS nations to the G7, we can use GDP projections for 2023 from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). According to a report by Visual Capitalist , even with its new members, BRICS falls short of the G7’s 43% share of global GDP.

In terms of private wealth, the BRICS Wealth Report by Henley & Partners  reveals that in the last decade, private wealth grew by a remarkable 92% in China, which is now home to 862,400 millionaires, including 2,352 centi-millionaires and 305 billionaires. India follows in second place with 120 billionaires, over 1,000 centi-millionaires, and 326,400 millionaires
