Today's top ten 10 list how the 1% views the world. Its more interesting to look at the changes they see in 10 years such as Hong Kong declining in influence with Beijing and Shanghai rising (yet at the same time rate Hong Kong as one of the cities whose influence is fastest growing?) and have Miami dropping off the list in 10 years being replaced by Sao Paolo:

Quote:
London is the city that matters most to global high-net-worth individuals, followed by New York, Hong Kong and Paris, according to exclusive new research published in The Wealth Report 2012.
The findings reflect the results of a sentiment survey sent to Citi Private Bank's wealth advisors and Knight Frank's luxury property specialists around the world, which assesses the importance of key cities to HNWIs based on everything from economic openness to their appeal as somewhere to live or visit.
We asked respondents to rank the most important global and regional cities to HNWIs now and in 10 years, and to pinpoint those growing most quickly in importance. We also asked them to rank cities in terms of economic activity, political power, quality of life, and knowledge and influence.
London came top in virtually every category of the survey.
