[国际新闻] 英国出现新富「Yawns」一族

日月光

上世纪80年代，年轻「雅皮士」的标志性动作就是抱著大砖头手机一通狂打，而电影《华尔街》中的人物戈登的台词「贪婪就是美德」更成为这一阶层的宣言；到了90年代，富人们通常狂饮香槟酒，开豪华跑车。不过，时代已经不同了，英国增长迅猛的新富阶层中不少人不再喜欢卖弄露富，他们为人低调，将更多的钱投入到慈善事业。这一代人被称为「Yawns」，在英文中指「年轻而富有，但看起来很平常」。

英国富人目前的增长速度超过了工业革命以来任何一个时期。据瑞银集团(UBS)发布的最新数字，那些被称为「富人」的英国人至少拥有17万英镑的投资额，他们中三分之一是白手起家。与此同时，登上英国富人榜的人士也越来越年轻，在过去两年中，有代表性的富有企业家的年龄比以前下降了10岁。) H. P. {4 z; s+ z; o) N9 n  l

与他们的前辈相比，这些新富不再热衷于把钱用在个人消费上。据伦敦经济学院和壳牌公司上周发布的研究显示，目前只有一半的企业家认为赚钱是他们的最高理想。瑞银集团负责英国财产管理的总经理说:「今天的企业家不再卖弄自己。你不必知道他们到底是谁，他们更愿意把钱投入到慈善事业中。」汇丰银行英国分行总经理也表示，「人们正在寻找更有意义的生活方式。他们寻找保留财富的方式，而不是花掉它。」

新一代「Yawns」最担心的是他们的孩子在成长过程中不能认识到金钱的真正价值。让孩子在18岁时继承大笔财富在「Yawns」中已不常见，他们更乐于将财产进行安全合理的投资。

The Yawns are also increasingly concerned that their children will grow up without learning the true value of money. Allowing children to inherit vast sums on their 18th birthdays is no longer fashionable for the rich. Inheritances are being locked away in safe investments or preserved in a charitable trust.

Private equity groups have been buying small family businesses all over the country, as well as companies with household names such as Boots or the AA. That has made it easier for young entrepreneurs to cash in their chips at an earlier stage.
