   Number of millionaires in India lift global tally to record high   
      
      
   NEW YORK -- Want to be a millionaire? Move to India.   
      
   The number of millionaires in the country rose 26 per cent last year, the   
   biggest percentage gain among major countries in a report out Wednesday   
   showing the ranks of millionaires around the world at a record.  The total   
   number of Indian millionaires --    
   198,000 -- is relatively small, but it's fast closing in on Italy.  That   
   country had 219,000 millionaires last year.   
      
   The number of people worth $1 million or more around the world rose by 920,000   
   to a record 14.6 million last year, according to an annual tally from   
   consultant Capgemini and RBC Wealth Management.  It was the sixth straight   
   year-over-year increase as    
   rising stock prices lifted the value of personal wealth in a few key countries.   
      
      
   More than a third of new millionaires -- 345,000 -- were in the U.S., where a   
   broad index of stocks, the Standard and Poor's 500, rose 11 per cent.   
      
   Among other highlights of the report:   
      
   -- RECORD TOTAL: The wealth held by millionaires globally also rose to a   
   record -- $56 trillion.   
      
   -- RICHEST OF RICH: The wealthiest millionaires-- those worth is $30 million   
   or more -- represented only 1 per cent of total millionaires, but held 35 per   
   cent of the wealth.   
      
   -- GAINS SLOW: It got a harder to become a millionaire as many stock markets   
   in Europe and Latin America barely rose, or even fell. The rise in the number   
   of millionaires -- 7 per cent -- was about half the rate of the previous year.   
      
   -- WHERE THE MONEY IS:  The U.S. is home to 4.4 million millionaires, the most   
   in the world.  Japan ranks second with 2.5 million of them, followed by   
   Germany, with 1.1 million. C hina, the world's second-biggest economy, ranks   
   fourth.  It has 890,000    
   millionaires.   
      
   The wealth report tracked net worth of individuals, with assets defined as   
   stocks, bonds, cash, but not primary residences.
