Asian millionaires now control more wealth than those in North America, Europe and other regions, according to a report from finance¹ firm Capgemini.

金融企业凯捷顾问发布的一份报告指出，亚洲百万富翁掌握的财富总额现在已经超过了北美、欧洲和其它地区的百万富翁。

Driven by China and Japan, Asia's millionaires saw their wealth jump by 10% in 2015, the firm's World Wealth Report found. The region's millionaires held $17.4 trillion of wealth, compared with $16.6 trillion in North America.

该公司的《世界财富报告》显示，以中国和日本为首的亚洲百万富翁的财富总额去年增加了10%。亚洲的百万富翁掌握了17万4千亿美元的财富，而北美富翁则为16万6千亿美元。

Millionaires held nearly $60 trillion worldwide last year, four times higher than 30 years ago. That could rise to $100 trillion by 2025, Capgemini said.

去年全世界的百万富翁掌握的财富总额接近600万亿美元，这一数字是30年前的4倍。凯捷顾问公司表示，到2025年这一数字有可能上升到1000万亿美元。

Asia's growth in high net worth individuals - defined² as having $1 million in assets³ -came despite slowing economic growth in China and a weak Japanese economy.

尽管中国经济增速放缓、日本经济依然疲软，不过亚洲拥有百万美元净资产的富翁人数仍在上升。

Capgemini found the growth in Asia was driven mainly by financial services, technology and health care industries.

凯捷公司发现，亚洲富翁人数的增长主要集中在金融，科技和健康行业。

"If past growth rates hold, Asia-Pacific is likely to continue to be a dominant⁴ force over the next decade, representing two-fifths of the world's HNWI wealth, more than that of Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa combined," Capgemini said.

凯捷公司表示：“亚太地区如果可以保持这样的增长率，那么再过十年，它仍会保持这样的统治地位。亚太地区百万富翁的人数占到了全世界的五分之二，超过了欧洲、拉丁美洲、中东和非洲的总和。”

Poor performance in US equity⁵ markets slowed growth in North America to 2.3% last year, although the US still had the highest number of millionaires with 4.45 million.

美国的百万富翁人数为445万人，仍是世界第一，不过疲软的股票市场令富翁人数的增长率下降到了2.3%。
