List of countries by median and mean wealth of adult (USD)

edit

It is important to note in the table below the difference between median and mean wealth. Median wealth is the amount that divides the wealth distribution into two equal groups, half the adults having wealth above that amount, and half the adults having wealth below that amount. Mean wealth (average) is the amount obtained by dividing the total aggregate wealth by the number of adults. In nations where wealth is highly concentrated in a small percentage of people the average wealth can be much higher than the median wealth (e.g. the United States and Sweden). To see this click on the header of the mean wealth column and put it in descending order.

List of countries by national and per adult total wealth

edit

Credit Suisse S.A. publishes each year in Autumn the Global Wealth Report Databook. It reports all figures referred to the net wealth. These figures are influenced by real estate prices, equity market prices, exchange rates, liabilities, incidence in a country of the adult population, human resources, natural resources and capital and technological advancements ,which may create new assets or render others worthless in the future. During periods when equity markets experienced strong growth, the relative national and per capita wealth of the countries where people are more exposed on those markets, such as the United States and United Kingdom, tend to rise. On the other hand, when equity markets are depressed, the relative wealth of the countries where people invest more in real estate or bonds, such as France and Italy, tend to rise instead. Countries with more aged population like Germany and Italy would have higher relative wealth, if calculated per capita and not per adult.[1]
