Taiwan ranked 15th globally in number of ultra-rich individuals
Taiwan News
Taiwan was ranked 15th in a report on ultra-rich people by country in 2017, with the number up 26 percent from the previous year, according to property market consulting firm REPro Knight Frank.
In its latest wealth report, the number of individuals with US$50 million or more in net assets, defined as ultra-high net worth individuals (UHNWIs), in Taiwan was 2,010 in 2017, up 420 or 26 percent from a year earlier, REPro Knight Frank said.
Taiwan's growth rate in super rich individuals was the third highest in the world, trailing only Brazil's 28 percent and Russia's 27 percent, REPro Knight Frank added.
Taiwan also ranked sixth in the number of ultra-rich people in Asia after Japan (9,960), China (8,800), Hong Kong (5,140), India (2,920) and South Korea (2,610), the consulting firm said.
Huang Shu-wei, a market research executive at REPro Knight Frank, said the growth in ultra-rich people in Taiwan partly reflects a booming equity market with the weighted index on the local main board ending above the 10,000 point mark in May 2017 for the first time in over two decades. Such strength in equity price gains continued for the rest of the year and even into 2018.
In addition, Huang said listed companies in Taiwan were doling out large cash dividends to shareholders and the major market players were the largest beneficiaries and becoming even richer.
Worldwide, the number of ultra-rich individuals totaled about 129,700 in 2017, up 10 percent from a year earlier, the highest growth for five years with the global economy on the path to recovery, REPro Knight Frank said.
The United States had the most ultra rich people with 38,500 in 2017, ahead of Japan, China, Germany (8,087), Canada (5,500), France (5,240), Hong Kong, the United Kingdom (4,580), Switzerland (3,710) and Italy (3,150), REPro Knight Frank added.
India took 11th position, followed by Russia (2,620), South Korea and Brazil (2,390), according to REPro Knight Frank. (By Wei Shu and Frances Huang)
“寂寞” 殺人
Loneliness could kill you theconversation.com

I am an expert on aging and retirement and I also help employees transition from work to retirement by facilitating seminars and workshops in corporate Canada. And I often wonder however if our “go at it alone” attitude has led us down a lonely and isolating path.
Here are some recent stats:
40 per cent of Americans don’t feel close to others at any given time. And the number of lonely Americans has doubled since the 1980s.
In a recent Canadian Association of Retired People poll, 16 per cent of Canadians indicated that they lacked companionship
Fifteen per cent in the CARP poll said they had nobody to turn to or talk to
Fifteen per cent were unhappy doing things alone.
I suspect that these numbers are even higher among the general Canadian population, not just CARP members.
According to science, loneliness shortens our lifespan. Twice as much as obesity. Yes, you read that right.
Dr. John Cacioppo, the world’s foremost authority on loneliness, maintains that the number of people in your life does not inoculate you from experiencing loneliness. Rather, it’s the feeling of being lonely that places the brain and body at risk.
Cacioppo equates feeling lonely with feeling hungry. We compromise our survival and well-being when either is ignored.
We are biologically hardwired to respond to our environment. When we experience low blood-sugar levels, we crave food. The feeling of our stomachs being empty is a warning sign to eat and it’s essential to our very survival.
When we feel lonely, we desire connection with others, much like the loud rumble that your tummy makes when hungry.
A lonely brain is restless
Loneliness triggers “hyper-vigilance.” That is your brain is on the lookout for social threats, which consequently puts us on the defensive. We become more reactive to negative events and perceive daily hassles as more stressful.
A lonely brain awakens often, experiences fragmented sleep and cannot recover from the day’s stressful events.
A lonely brain is also subject to an increase in depressive symptoms and has difficulty self-regulating. That is why you may find yourself irritable and impulsive.
