List of countries by wealth per adult

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Countries by mean wealth (US dollars) per adult. From 2021 publication of Credit Suisse.
Countries by median wealth (US dollars) per adult. From 2021 publication of Credit Suisse.

This is a list of countries of the world by wealth per adult, from UBS's Global Wealth Databook.[1] Wealth includes both financial and non-financial assets.

UBS Global Wealth Databook's list of countries by wealth per adult (USD)

UBS publishes various statistics relevant for calculating net wealth. These figures are influenced by real estate prices, equity market prices, exchange rates, liabilities, debts, adult percentage of the population, human resources, natural resources and capital and technological advancements, which may create new assets or render others worthless in the future.

During periods of equity market growth, the relative national and per capita wealth of countries where people are more exposed to those markets, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, tends to rise. But when equity markets are down, the relative wealth of countries where people invest more in real estate or bonds, such as France and Italy, tends to drop instead. Countries with older populations, like Germany and Italy, would have higher relative wealth, if calculated per capita and not per adult.

In nations where wealth is highly concentrated in a small percentage of people (a higher Gini % in the tables below), the mean (obtained by dividing the total aggregate wealth by the number of adults) can be much higher than the median (the amount that divides the population into two equal groups).[citation needed]

By country

Gini: Higher Gini coefficients signify greater inequality in wealth distribution. A Gini coefficient of 0 reflects perfect wealth equality, where all wealth values are the same, while a Gini coefficient of 1 (or 100%) reflects maximal wealth inequality, a situation where a single individual has all the wealth while all others have none.
