SINGAPORE'S billionaire population declined 11.4 per cent to 39 in 2018 from 44 in 2017, largely driven by negative equity market performance, according to research firm Wealth-X's Billionaire Census 2019.
Singapore's ultra rich shed 8.8 per cent of their wealth even as the city-state kept its 15th position in the country rankings for the most number of billionaires. Singapore billionaires' combined wealth stood at US$84 billion in 2018.
