Chinese millionaire migration

Friday, 17 Jan 2014 | 1:14 PM ET

Chinese luxury spending fell 15 percent last year, the biggest decline in 5 years. CNBC's Robert Frank reports on the falling sales of Chinese luxury goods and the migration of the super wealthy.

Do the wealthy Chinese know something we don't?

A new report shows that 64 percent of Chinese millionaires have either emigrated or plan to emigrate—taking their spending and fortunes with them. The United States is their favorite destination.

The report from Hurun, a wealth research firm that focuses on China, said that one-third of China's super rich—or those worth $16 million or more—have already emigrated.

The data offer the latest snapshot of China's worrying wealth flight, with massive numbers of rich Chinese taking their families and fortunes overseas. Previous studies show the main reasons rich Chinese are leaving is to pursue better educations for their kids, and to escape the pollution and overcrowding in urban China.

But analysts say there is another reason the Chinese rich are fleeing: to protect their fortunes. With the Chinese government cracking down on corruption, many of the Chinese rich—who made their money through some connection or favors from government—want to stash their money in assets or countries that are hard for the Chinese government to reach.

According to WealthInsight, the Chinese wealthy now have about $658 billion stashed in offshore assets. Boston Consulting Group puts the number lower, at around $450 billion, but says offshore investments are expected to double in the next three years.

A study from Bain Consulting found that half of China's ultrawealthy—those with $16 million or more in wealth—now have investments overseas.

The mass millionaire migration out of China is also hitting luxury companies hard. Hurun said China's luxury sales last year fell 15 percent—the biggest drop in over a half a decade. Spending on gifts, which made up a sizable portion of luxury sales, fell 25 percent.

United States of millionaires

CNBC's Robert Frank reveals that Maryland is No. 1, with 168,000 millionaires.

Bentley Motors last week said that its sales in China slowed last year in part because of "the migration of high net worth individuals from China."

In other words, it isn't that wealthy buyers in China are spending less—they're just disappearing.

Most are looking for permanent residences, Hurun said. The United States was their top destination, which any real estate agent in San Francisco, Seattle or New York can confirm. Europe is their second favorite destination, followed by Canada, Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Bones

If you count the bones from the skull at the top of your body to the bones in your toes, you will find that you have two hundred and six (206) bones in your body. Bones are very useful. They help us do a lot of things.

Bones protect your body. Your skull protects your brain. You have twelve (12) pairs of ribs around the middle of your body to protect your heart, lungs, and other organs.

Bones support the body and help us move. Hip bones and leg bones let us stand up. We can walk and sit up straight because we have bones.

Inside some of the bones is a soft material called bone marrow. Blood cells are made here. Blood cells are needed for healthy blood. Some blood diseases can be cured with bone marrow transplants. In a transplant, bone marrow is taken from a healthy person and injected with a long needle into the person with the blood disease.

Bones also help us hear sounds. This is the job of the smallest bone in your body. It is called the stirrup bone. It is in your ear.

There are many different shapes and sizes of bones in your body. The femur in your thigh (the top part of your leg) is a long straight bone. If you touch your knee, you can feel your patella. It is a little flat circular bone that looks like a coin.
