The Czars of Finance

One of the most important segments of the Swiss economy is finance. In 2009, the financial sector comprised 11.6% of Switzerland's GDP and employed approximately 195,000 people, 136,000 of whom work in the banking sector; this represents about 5.6% of the total Swiss workforce. Furthermore, Swiss banks employ an estimated 103,000 people abroad. The strong Swiss currency together with stable political conditions and a long tradition of banking secrecy has made this sector one of the most profitable in the country. Thus when looking for single millionaires in Switzerland, it would help to keep a eye for bankers, hedge fund managers, insurers, investment advisors and other kinds of finance executives. While the two biggest banks are USB and Credit Suisse, there are many smaller banks spread through the country to serve domestic needs. Most of the banks’ headquarters are located in cities like Zurich and Basel. So if you are visiting these cities, make it a point to drop in the cafes and bars in the financial districts which will throw you in touch with the budding and established stars of the financial world. You'll meet many rich professionals and wealthy Swiss businessmen here.

The corporate honchos

Apart from finance, the Swiss economy is significantly bolstered by the sectors like health services, chemicals, precision machinery and tourism. Switzerland is home to several large multinational corporations and the largest Swiss companies by revenue are Glencore, Nestlé, Novartis, Hoffmann-La Roche, ABB and Adecco. Some of its major exports are chemicals, machines and electronics, precision instruments like watches as well as professional services. All these imply a thriving industrial sector based on private entrepreneurship. Thus you need to watch out for the budding businessmen or the high-paid executive who not only makes millions in a year but takes immense pride in his work as well. The Swiss are nothing if not perfectionists and what they lack in gregariousness, they certainly make up with their focus and desire to excel. So put your best foot forward when visiting business conventions, conferences and professional workshops in the financial districts of major cities. These will offer you a far better chance of mingling with the successful executives and professionals, the rich men who are going places, rather than hanging out at bars and cafes.

Arosa could be another choice and even though this is one of the nation's most out-of-the-way ski resorts, it has become quite popular with a hipper, younger crowd. For a place where the skiers meet the party-goers, head to Zermatt, with its view of the Matterhorn and hedonistic lifestyle. Here you can ski all day and party all night, drinking and dancing till the sun rises amd meeting the millionaires in Switzerland who make it the prosperous nation it is.
