Tell that to 300,000+ USD Millionaires in mainland china ( I am sure its fare greater now as this is an article from 2006 ) http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/06_06/b3970072....

I come from a lower-middle class background ( military family during the 80's and early 90's ), grew up in many different small cities and never finished high school. I am in my mid 20's now and have the wealth that people here like to refer to as 'FU Money'

Germany has about 800,000 USD millionaires (also numbers from 2006) and a population that’s about 16 times smaller than China’s. Do you really think that that difference has nothing to do with location and history?
