去年，亚洲的百万富翁人数首次超过北美，但由于全球经济前景不明朗，世界最富人群的总资产有所减少。
最新一期世界财富报告说，亚太地区有337万人的财富超过100万美元，比去年增加1.6%。北美有335万名百万富翁，比去年减少1%，欧洲的百万富翁人数为317万。
报告说，全世界的百万富翁人数维持在1100万，但他们2012的资产总额比2011年减少了1.7%。
Asia's population of millionaires outpaced that of North America for the first time last year, but the total net worth of the world's wealthiest people declined in the face of global economic uncertainty.
The newest World Wealth Report says the Asia-Pacific region was home to 3.37 million people having $1 million or more to invest, a 1.6 percent increase from the year before. North America was in second place with 3.35 million millionaires, a drop of just over one percent, while Europe was home to 3.17 million of the wealthiest people.
The annual report found that the world's total number of millionaires remained steady at 11 million people, but their combined net worth dropped 1.7 percent in 2011.
