Secrets of Kuwaiti Ultra High Net Worth, Revealed by a Swiss Banker

Research conducted by Heinrich Weber, Swiss Banker and author of ‘The Ultra High Net Worth Banker’s Handbook,’ estimates that there are 150 ultra high net worth individuals (UHNWI) in Kuwait after the crisis with an average wealth of US$370 million. In comparison, estimates show that there are around twenty thousand (20,000) UHNWI in existence today, with more than 25 percent or 5,150 of them residing in the United States.

Between them, they possess wealth that exceeds US$5,000 billion, which is equivalent to 10 percent of the world’s estimated total wealth. The UHNWI wealth management business is therefore a critically important as well as complex field within the realm of modern finance.

“Kuwaiti UHNWI are mostly highly successful investors and business people and thinkers in general, from whom we can learn a lot. They invest money slightly more aggressively than Europeans and US investors,” says Heinrich Weber, author of ‘The Ultra High Net Worth Banker’s Handbook,’ his third book and written in collaboration with his fellow Stephan Meier. “They are globally better diversified than US investors and invest significantly in real estate and private equity holdings, or acquire controlling stakes in listed local companies.” Read more

Now, after four years of production, AVATAR, a live action film with a new generation of special effects, delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film disappears into the emotion of the characters and the sweep of the story.
