Various news sites have reported on a recent study by Barclays Business Banking showing that, in Britain, Asian entrepreneurs have increased their wealth at three times the pace of economic growth.
Report author Spinder Dhaliwal of the University of Surrey found that the contribution of the top 20 entries was one third of the overall wealth on the list -- a change from the two-thirds in 1998. In addition, women's wealth quadrupled and four were listed on their own as opposed to women who were listed as part of family partnerships. These entrepreneurs are focusing on high-tech and service sector businesses, including beauty products, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, hotels and digital cordless phones.

GREENWICH'S OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNES
In the 1920s, Greenwich, Connecticut, was known as the richest town per capita in the world. Now dubbed "McMansion Central" by Vanity Fair, the town is a haven for Wall Street hedge-fund managers and others with the wherewithal to build multi-million dollar homes.
The average price paid for a Greenwich house was up 40 percent in two years -- $2.5 million in 2005. Only seven buyers paid less than $500,000. There were three houses worth more than $10 million in 2003, but 16 in 2005.
This article chronicles the history of Greenwich's mansions and the people who built -- and are building -- them.
