Last year, I was at a billionaires home in California and I asked him to describe his biggest worry. He pointed to a 19 century painting on the wall, which depicted a female beggar receiving alms from a wealthy gentleman and giving her patron a flower in return.

"Thats what I worry about," he said. "But instead of flowers, shes got guns. Violence in the streets, aimed at the wealthy. Thats what I worry about."

It turns out he wasnt alone. A new survey from Insite Security and IBOPE Zogby International of those with liquid assets of $1 million or more found that 94% of respondents are concerned about the global unrest around the world today.

Fully 90% of respondents have a negative view of the current global economic climate and 41% say they have little or no faith that the U.S. will be able to right itself in this fiscal climate.

More than a third said security concerns have negatively affected business or investment plans.
