Moscow had 74 billionaireswith an average wealth of $5.9 billion, which placed it above New York's
71 billionaires. However, as of 2009, there are only 27 billionaires in Moscow compared with New
York's 55 billionaires. Based on Forbes' 2011-list of the world's billionaires, Moscow is the city with
the most billionaires in the world, with 79 from 115 in all of Russia. The nouveau riche, also called
the New Russians, often in a derogatory sense, have a reputation for flaunting their wealth; the
avenues for doing so have increased in recent times - a senseof fashion and self-consciousness has
instilled itself through the many haute couture and haute cuisine spots in Moscow.
