FRANCE has seen an exodus of millionaires after a series of terror attack rocked the country last year.

A whopping 12,000 people with assets exceeding $1million left France in 2016 - more than any other nation on Earth.

That’s an increase of 2,000 from 2015 despite the country having a spike in economic growth in the final quarter of last year, reports Market Watch.

Recent terror attacks in Paris and Nice have left the country on edge and have emboldened far right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen.

But this is not a trend specific to France as the world has witnessed a surge in the amount of millioniares migrating.

Around 82,000 rich people moved country last year which is 18,000 more than in 2015, reports the 2017 Global Wealth Review.

While the French lost the most ‘high-net-worth individuals’, China also saw 9,000 wealthy residents fleeing last year.

Brazil was third on the list with 8,000 millionaires leaving which is a staggering 300% increase from the previous year.

India, which is one of the world’s fastest growing economies, also lost 6,000 which is twice as many as the year before.

Turkey, which has been blighted with terror attacks and a failed military coup last summer, lost 6,000 fat cats - a 500% increase from 2015.

But while those countries failed to keep hold of their rich residents, Australia welcomed the most wealthy migrants for the second year in a row, according to Research and Markets.

Around 11,000 millionaires chose to move ‘down under’ compared to 8,000 in 2015.

The United States and Canada also saw an influx of millionaires with 10,000 and 8,000 moving to the North American countries respectively.

The movement of millionaires is considered an indicator of how residents view the political and economic situation within a country.

There is an estimated 13.6 people with more than $1million in assets in the world with a combined wealth of $69trillion.

The wealth of millionaires in the Asia-Pacific grew by 10% which is almost five times more than those in the US, according to a report by Capgemini, a global consulting, technology and outsourcing service.
