Mostly inherited money from generations. There are few wealthy families here who are extremely wealthy.

Seems to me that fortunes are made by being in politics or having connections to powerful politicians. Many got rich during the Menem days and need I even mention someone whose initials start with C and end with K?

I doubt the accuracy of this survey. BA is not cheap.

It would help if you contact The Economist, to dispute their survey...

I seriously doubt that Buenos Aires is one of the cheapest cities of the world . For people who live here it is the dearest city of South America for most products including cars , clothing , electronics , beauty products ,furniture , hotels , etc etc and in us dollars . It is a cheaper in us dollars for restaurant meals , taxis and transport , and long term rental agreements . Property prices in Buenos Aires are the third most dearest in US dollars after Santiago Chile and Montevideo Uruguay .

The cheapest major city of the world right now is Caracas Venezuela . Of course your security is not guaranteed but you can live very cheap .
