國際時事跟讀VIP Ep. L133: 1 in 13 Rich: Youth Reject Lying Flat

Highlights 主題摘要

  • Data reveals one in 13 Hong Kongers is a multi-millionaire, typically self-made by age 39.
  • Wealthy individuals aggressively diversify assets into AI and private markets instead of holding cash.
  • Young professionals leverage global connections to build fortunes, rejecting the passive "lying flat" lifestyle.


Hong Kong is entering a new era of wealth creation, distinguishing itself as a land of opportunity rather than a place for "lying flat." According to the latest HSBC Affluent Survey, one in every 13 residents is now a multi-millionaire. Remarkably, these individuals typically achieve this status at the average age of 39, taking only about eight years to grow their assets from the millionaire level. This rapid accumulation suggests that despite global economic headwinds, the local market remains incredibly dynamic for those who navigate it wisely.

香港正邁入財富創造的新紀元,這突顯了它是一塊充滿機會的土地,而非適合「躺平」的地方。根據滙豐銀行最新的富裕階層調查,每13位居民中就有1位是千萬富翁。值得關注的是,這些人平均在39歲時便躋身千萬富翁之列,且僅需約八年時間,資產便能從百萬等級翻倍躍升。這種快速的資本累積顯示,儘管面臨全球經濟逆風,對於懂得精準佈局的投資人而言,當地市場依然充滿強勁動能。

Contrary to the belief that wealth is inherited, nearly 70% of these individuals built their fortunes through their own efforts rather than being born with a silver spoon. Their strategy involves moving away from cash, which is "no longer king," towards high-return products like private market funds and leveraged financing. By diversifying into approximately five different markets, they aggressively expand their portfolios. This proactive approach highlights a shift from conservative saving to sophisticated, calculated risk-taking in order to outpace inflation.

有別於財富多靠繼承的刻板印象,近七成的富裕人士屬於白手起家,而非含著金湯匙出生。他們的策略不再奉行「現金為王」,而是轉向私募市場基金與槓桿融資等高回報商品。透過將資金分散佈局於約五個不同市場,他們積極擴大投資組合。這種主動出擊的模式突顯了一項轉變:從保守儲蓄轉向精密計算後的風險承擔,以求跑贏通膨。

This drive extends to the younger generation, who are uniquely equipped to thrive in a global hub integrated with a rising China. Rather than surrendering to the "lying flat" mentality, Hong Kong’s youth are leveraging international exposure and advancements in sectors like artificial intelligence. With over 60% of investors planning to engage with the AI sector, young professionals are utilizing these modern tools to secure their financial futures. The city’s position offers unparalleled access to cross-border opportunities that previous generations never imagined.

這股動能也延伸至年輕世代,他們具備獨特優勢,能在與崛起中的中國緊密接軌的全球樞紐中大展身手。香港青年並未屈服於「躺平」主義,而是善用國際視野及人工智慧等領域的進展來創造優勢。隨著超過六成的投資人計劃涉足AI領域,年輕專業人士正運用這些現代化工具來保障未來的財務版圖。這座城市的定位提供了前幾代人無法想像的跨境機遇。

Ultimately, the goal is to secure a flexible and comfortable retirement. Multi-millionaires estimate they need a monthly passive income of HKD 160,000 to maintain their lifestyle, prompting them to plan early. Whether through legacy planning or exploring digital frontiers, the consensus is clear: relying solely on salary or cash savings is insufficient. Success in this competitive environment requires a mindset of continuous adaptation, diversification, and a refusal to settle for mediocrity.

歸根究底,這些積極理財的目標在於確保靈活且優渥的退休生活。千萬富翁們估計,他們每月需要16萬港幣的被動收入才能維持生活品質,這促使他們提早展開規劃。無論是透過資產傳承規劃,還是探索數位新領域,市場共識相當明確:單靠薪資或現金儲蓄已遠遠不足。在如此競爭的環境中若要勝出,必須具備持續適應、多元佈局的心態,並拒絕安於平庸。
