Press Review Austrian dollar millionaires


I read an article the other day on www.austriantimes.at and it talks about the number of Austrian dollar millionaires.

Basically what it says is that the number of Austrian dollar millionaires rose in 2008, while the number of dollar millionaires fell in most other countries.

A study said, that the USA had most millionaires, followed by Japan, China, Germany and the UK.

What surprised me most was the fact that one million dollars is the equivalent of over 680.000 Euros.

Words:
equivalent of (entspricht): It's another word for "the same as".

dollar millionaires (Dollar-Millionäre): These people would be millionaires in the USA.
