NYC is officially the wealthiest city in the world according to this new ranking​

We're living the dream, aren't we?

Sure, it's expensive to live in New York but, according to the annual World's Wealthiest Cities Report from Henley & Partners, which you can read in full right here, the city is also home to the wealthiest citizenry in the world.

The annual report ranks the top 50 cities globally by millionaire and billionaire count, also tracking shifts in wealth based on prime property numbers, investment migration trends and centi-millionaire hubs. In addition to it all, the study takes into account "expert insights on economic mobility, prime property, the investment migration sector and wealth management."

We'll be honest: we're not surprised that our very own New York made it to the top of the list.

According to the survey, the city is home to 384,500 millionaires, 818 centi-millionaires (worth over $100 million each!) and 66 billionaires. Those are numbers we can't even wrap our heads around.

Three other U.S. cities are mentioned in the survey: the Bay Area at number two, Los Angeles at number five and Chicago at number ten.

Rounding out the top ten were global hotspots Tokyo, Japan; Singapore; London, England; Paris, France; Hong Kong; and Sydney, Australia.
