France is doomed, look! It has fewer millionnaires than China while the UK has twice as many!

I feel bad that we don't have so many millionaires in France. Maybe we should privatize health care!!

Re: Where's the millionaires? (none / 1)

Be interesting to know where Finland is. Way down, I would guess. Apart from the old money, Nokia a a few other corporations in energy, publishing etc. As a % of households it would hardly be visible.
