For the first time ever, the number of billionaires in the UK has exceeded the 100-person mark. Welcome Cameron Mackintosh, a West End producer, who has taken advantage of London\u2019s theater land, which has been nothing short of a goldmine. He\u2019s the first entertainer to make the cut on The Sunday Times\u2019<\/i> Rich List. Mackintosh amassed his riches from his hit musicals: Cats<\/i>, Les Mis<\/i> and The Phantom of the Opera<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The real moneymaker, however, is his Miss Saigon<\/i>, which stands as the world\u2019s longest-running musical. After a 15-year absence, the show makes a return to London, and it smashed single-day sales records for both the West End and Broadway. Ticket sales were nearly \u00a34.5 million on the first day alone.<\/p>\n

Of the over 100 billionaires in the UK, 72 live right in London, making it the No. 1 city in the world for billionaires. Following are Moscow and New York City, with 48 and 43 billionaires, respectively.<\/p>\n

Over half of the billionaires in London were born abroad, so what is it about the city that draws the super-rich?<\/p>\n

London: The City That Glitters<\/b><\/p>\n

“London\u00a0has a global reputation as being particularly strong, particularly robust, particularly well-run and as a safe haven for foreign institutional and indeed foreign private investment, and that’s pretty much what we’ve seen playing out particularly over the last year and a half,\u201d claims Richard Hunter, Hargreaves Lansdown\u2019s Head of Equities.<\/p>\n

Last year, Britain boasted 88 billionaires, but it\u2019s swelled\u2026 hitting the triple figures for the first time with a cool 104 this year (with a combined wealth of over \u00a3300 billion).<\/p>\n

That means\u2026 in Britain, one in every 600,000 people is a billionaire, compared to a measly one in every one million<\/i> in America. That\u2019s a startling difference. Maybe there\u2019s something America is missing out on\u2026<\/p>\n

Recently, Wall Street Daily\u2019s<\/i> Founder, Robert Williams, shared some insight on how to invest like a billionaire. You see, someone let him in on a little secret, and we\u2019d like to share it with you. Investing tycoons (like Warren Buffett) have announced their favorite stock.<\/p>\n
