This is a decrease of 56,000 millionaires and the number of millionaires currently stands at 51.88 million people.
But according to the Credit Suisse report, if you compare the number of millionaires in the world to the end of the previous year (2019) to the middle of the current year (June 2020) the number of millionaires in the world increased in the first half of the year (2020) by very little, by 5,632 million: People around the world have joined the Millionaires Club.
