Among the leading economies in the world Russia — the country with the stark material inequality.

This conclusion was published on Thursday, the analyst firm New World Wealth.

According to her calculations, in the hands of millionaires concentrated 62 per cent of the national wealth of Russia; the share of billionaires accounts for 26 percent of the wealth of the country. On the second place after Russia in the list is India, where millionaires own 54 per cent of the national wealth.

“If millionaires more than half of the assets, it is extremely narrows the space for the emergence of the middle class”, – the report says New World Wealth.

Japan, the country with the third largest economy in the world, the most financially equitable: there’s the share of millionaires accounted for only 22 percent of the national wealth. In the United States the figure was just over 30 percent, which, according to the study authors, is “surprisingly good result”, which is at odds with conventional notions of material stratification in American society. The issue of income inequality is one of the most acute in the current presidential campaign in the United States.

The average American citizen is 151 thousand dollars. In Monaco, the figure is 1 million 600 thousand. 40 thousand citizens of Monaco more than 5 percent are in excess of $ 10 million.
