by kalyani10
Buenos Aires
The capital and largest city of Argentina, Buenos Aires is also the second-biggest metropolitan area in the entire continent. The economy of Buenos Aires owes a significant extent of its earnings to the city port which is why many of the wealthy men here are likely to be associated with shipping business. Other than these those associated with the functioning of the port like engineers, navigators, managers, highly-skilled technicians are likely to be among the best-paid professionals in the city. However it is the service sector which is the biggest segment of the city economy. The service sector is not only well-developed but quite diversified too and ranges from financial services to media-based like advertising and tourism-based like the hospitality sectors. Among these the financial service sector is the largest and contributes to 31% of the city's economy. A great way to meet the successful professionals of Buenos Aires would be to frequent the cafes and watering holes of the Central Business District where most of the offices, financial institutions and businesses are located. San Nicolas, Montserrat, Retiro and Puerto Madero are some of the most significant areas of downtown Buenos Aires which is also known as the City Center. Yet another segment of well-to-do men in Buenos Aires belong to the old moneyed families who have made their wealth from land. Many of the farms in the Pampa Húmeda, are owned by rich land-owning families who may be found frequenting country clubs, fashionable resorts and social dos where the elite of the country gather.
Mexico City
While America is still home to the largest number of billionaires in the world, the richest man on the planet comes from Mexico City. However not everyone in this place can aspire to the $69 billion worth of assets like Carlos Slim Helu and yet Mexico City is home to many successful professionals and businessmen. Apart from being the richest city in the whole of Latin America, the Greater Mexico City had in fact a gross domestic product of US$390 billion in 2008, making Mexico City urban agglomeration the eighth richest metropolitan area in the world3. To a great extent the economic growth of Mexico City is the result of economic reforms ushered in by President Carlos Salinas de Gortari which in turn brought about a shift in Mexico City's economic base, from manufacturing to services. Thus the wealthiest men in Mexico are the high-salaried professionals in the financial or services sector as well as businessmen, who like Carlos Helu, made the most of decentralization policies. Apart from the gleaming offices of the Zona Rosa business district and the swanky nightspots of Condesa and Roma, most of Mexico City’s wealthiest men can be found in exclusive neighborhoods like Lomas de Chapultepec and Polanco.
San Jose, Costa Rica
