New Delhi: Mumbai ranked 47th on the "city wealth index" among 314 cities in the world, a report said on Wednesday.

The report said the city ranked 16th among the top 20 costliest global cities where $1 million can buy only 92 square metres of area.

It added that India would be the third-largest contributor in Asia with respect to wealthy population after China and Japan.
