据有关媒体报道富人们的财富未受经济危机影响

The rich grew richer last year, even as the world endured the worst recession in decades.

尽管全球经历了几十年来最严重的经济衰退，但去年富人们的财富仍出现了增长。

A stock marketrebound（回弹）helped the world's ranks of millionaires climb 17 percent to 10 million, while their collective wealth surged 19 percent to $39 trillion, nearlyrecouping（收回，恢复）losses from the financial crisis, according to the latest Merrill Lynch-Capgemini world wealth report.

Stock values rose by half, whilehedge funds（对冲基金）recovered most of their 2008 losses, in a year marked by governmentstimulus（刺激，激励）spending and central bank easing.

"We are already seeing distinct signs of recovery and, in some areas, a complete return to 2007 levels of wealth and growth," Bank of America Corp wealth management chief Sallie Krawcheck said.

The fastest growth in wealth took place in India, China and Brazil, some of the hardest hit markets in 2008. Wealth in Latin America and the Asia-Pacific soared to record highs.

Asia's millionaire ranks rose to 3 million, matching Europe for the first time, paced by a 4.5 percenteconomic expansion（经济扩张）.

Asian millionaires' combined wealth surged 31 percent to $9.7 trillion, surpassing Europe's $9.5 trillion.

In North America, the ranks of the rich rose 17 percent and their wealth grew 18 percent to $10.7 trillion.

The United States was home to the most millionaires in 2009 -- 2.87 million -- followed by Japan with 1.65 million, Germany with 861,000, and China with 477,000.

Switzerland had the highest concentration of millionaires: nearly 35 for every 1,000 adults.

Yet asportfolios（证券投资组合，档案）bounced back, investors remainedwary（谨慎的，机警的）after a collapse that erased a decade of stock gains, fueled a contraction in the global economy and sent unemployment soaring.

The report, based on surveys with more than 1,100 wealthy investors with 23 firms, found that the rich were well served by holding a broad range of investments, includingcommodities（商品，日用品）and realestate（房地产，财产）.
