A new report released earlier this month found that the global slump in property and equity markets last year cut the number of millionaires worldwide by 15% to 8.6 million, wiping out two years of increases in wealth. The value of the world's millionaires' assets fell 20% in 2008 to $32.8 trillion, after a 9.4% increase in 2007, according to the latest report. The study also found that the super-millionaires ($30 million and up) got hit even harder than the mere millionaires, which is even more interesting. Even if you are not a millionaire, there is a lot to be learned from this annual report from reputable sources.
