We like to think that the reasons for seeking wealth are common. Humans, by nature, like to be comfortable, like to have power and like to have the choices and freedom offered by lots of money.
Yet in fact, people's understanding in the meaning of wealth is different around the world. The new Barclay's Wealth Insights study finds that the rich of emerging (新兴的) markets view wealth very differently from Europeans with quite a long rich history and Americans with a slightly shorter rich history.
The study surveyed 2,000 people from 120 countries with investible assets (可投资资产) of $1.5million or more. They shared some common views: a large majority of rich people from all over the world agreed that wealth enabled them to buy the best products and that wealth gave
C. An old dairy.
D. An old man.

Respect — Asians and Latin Americans were more likely (49% and 47% ) to say that wealth allowed them to get respect from friends and family. Only 28% of Europeans and 38% of Americans said respect was a byproduct (副产品) of wealth.
Happiness— About two thirds of Europeans and Americans said wealth made them happy. But it had a greater happiness influence in emerging markets, with 76% of Asians and Latin Americans saying wealth made them happy.
Role models—Less than half of Americans and Europeans said the wealthy set an important example to others to be successful, compared with 71% of Latin Americans and 61% of Asians.
Spending —Wealthy Europeans were more likely to spend their money on travel and home decoration. LatinAmericans seemed to put the highest spending on education, while Americans' spending in charity (慈善) was much more than the rich in any other area of the world.
