Global wealth has tripled in two decades, and a lot of it is concentrated right here in the U.S.

In April, Henley & Partners, a company focusing on residency and citizenship by investment, in partnership with global wealth intelligence firm New World Wealth, which tracks global wealth migration trends between countries and cities, released its joint World Wealthiest Cities Report. Its lists include the most expensive cities in the world, the fastest-growing wealth hubs, and one of the wealthiest cities, topped by New York City.

According to the report, the Big Apple is home to 384,500 millionaires, 818 centimillionaires, and 66 billionaires, indicating a substantial concentration of wealth in Manhattan.

Henley & Partners shared in a press release that 11 out of the 50 cities on the list are in our country. It added that the Bay Area, which includes San Francisco and Silicon Valley, came in a close second with 342,400 resident millionaires. However, the company also pointed out that the Bay Area is now home to more billionaires—82—than New York and "continues to thrive as the epicenter of technological wealth creation, enjoying exceptional millionaire growth of 98 percent over the past decade."

1. All of this wealth, but we need to cut shit like food stamps and Medicaid to give the wealthy even more.

Can you imagine the mindset of a billionaire obsessing and lobbying against programs like Meals on Wheels?

One thing I do not worry about in my middle-class life: That poor people in this country have it too easy.
