Wealth of Nations


The total value of all wealth worldwide is about $100 trillion (US). Two thirds of that is held by Europe and North America, each holding some $34 trillion.

Individually, millionaires worldwide (about 10 million, comprising less than 1% of all households) hold one third of all global wealth. The five countries having the most millionaires (in order) are the US, Japan, the U.K, Germany, and China.
