Why is Switzerland home to so many billionaires?


Switzerland is populated with billionaires — there’s one for every 80,000 people. 

As of 2022, the country was home to an estimated 110 billionaires with a combined wealth of $338 billion, outranking other super-rich hotspots such as Saudi Arabia, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates.

  2. 전세계부자들의 세금회피 안전금고 라는 풍문 또 다른 풍문은
    옛 나치시대 유대인들의 비밀 돈과 금과 보석들이 스위스 은행으로 들어갔다는것
    사실인지 거짓인지 그저 풍문으로 들릴뿐이다

  3. The only country in EU which never experience war is Switzerland.

    Guess why….., because this this is the place where those who are pulling strings settled down…. example … BIS HQ located in Basel.

    You don’t what BIS does, the faster you get to know, the better for you…

  4. You really need to guess why ? because they can avoid taxes and are everything else accommodates their wealth. What else ? It's not because they should pay more taxes than anywhere else.

  5. not true at all. Switzerland does not have so many billionaresa at all. At least nothing compared to the US. How do I know? because i live here. nosense rporting by biased media

  6. "A fortress country" and honest (the best get promoted, not the biggest "footstools"), and wise people are highly appreciated.
    It seems simple, but somehow paradoxical nowadays – wealth comes from honesty and wisdom (not watching clowns on tik-tok).
    Every poor country is a country of cheaters and fools.

  7. Because selfish and greedy are encouraged by the Swiss banks. Please stop covering trash that's irrelevant to 99% of people. We do not care where greedy jerks live. Ubuntu- if one is unhappy, how can anyone be truly happy?

    Greed just begets greed and sadness/loneliness. It's all stupid and makes me not want to wait to get the eff off this planet.

  8. Because it is the best country in the world! At the beginning of the 20th century one of the poorest countries in the world and now one of the richest! Small but beautiful! Still! Unfortunately, more and more people are coming to Switzerland and damaging its quality because the whole of Europe and the USA can no longer get their act together economically and politically. If South America wasn't so far away, they would come too! Fortunately not. The mob from Europe is quite enough 😅

  9. Switzerland has a huge problem of pur majority parties politicizing almost solely for the rich and corporations instead of the working class. This due to lobbying and personal interests.
    All while everything is getting more expensive and the wages stay the same, swiss workers continuously fall closer to the poverty line…

  10. Who cares if someone has alot of money? I don't like that we glorify humans that way. Or let's say i don't like that we reduce our fellow humans on the amount of money they accumulated.

  11. I lived in Switzerland for four years of my life. Those years were actually the finest in my whole life. Switzerland is a fine country; and its people are fine, too. In my opinion, Switzerland is the best country in the world in which to live. Unless one has lived there, it is difficult to describe its advantages.
