The Global Perspective on Prime Property and Investment
We rank which countries have the most UHNWIs as of 2020
The world’s UHNWI population – those with a net worth of US$30 million or more – rose by 6.4% in the 12 months to January 2020, according to super rich, 's Global Wealth Sizing Model.
This places the total number of UHNWIs globally at 513,244 as of the end of 2019. But where do these people call home? Where is their wealth concentrated? According to our Global Wealth Sizing Model (which collates data from multiple sources), North America dominates with more than double the UHNWI population of Europe.
Specifically, the US counts 240,575 people worth more than US$30 million – nearly quadruple that of the next most concentrated country, China, which has 61,587 UHNWIs, and more than Europe and Asia combined.
Our Wealth Sizing model predicts that Asia's UHNWI population will grow by 44% over the next five years, followed by Africa at 32%. The US will continue to dominate in terms of gross number of UHNWIs by 2024, with an additional 22% joining the ranks of the super rich.
