USD is the traditional standard in generation of such statistics, and Capgemini (French IT firm) has been key in generating the World Wealth report for the last several years... I think the next step up is $30mil in assets... it's all about wealth, not income.
Of course, if you use Zimbabwe dollars - anyone with over US$35 in their bank account is a millionaire.

That was at 10am - I just read an article that says they are selling eggs on the side of the road for 1 Million.....
With house prices in London going up the way they have the last few years I bet the 8.7 mil figure is a LOT higher.
The thought of my mother being a millionaire is almost funny - but she is just about. (US$).
She was lucky with one particular property purchase - but it happens more and more here.
