Italy 10th for number of world's millionaires

(ANSA) - Milan, June 18 - Italy's millionaires are growing in numbers not seen since before the global economic crisis, putting it in 10th place worldwide, a study showed Wednesday. According to the Capgemini and RBC Wealth Management world wealth report, some 203,200 Italians were worth $1 million or more in 2013, up 15.6% since 2012. The number is also 12.5% above the European average, and just slightly behind 2007 levels of 208,000. Researchers cited tax shields and an increase in stock values as the primary causes.
    The number of so-called 'super rich', or people with money and assets worth a total of $30 million or more, is also on the rise, recorded at 3,000 in 2013.
