Summary
Global wealth exploded last year with a 10% surge—the fastest in decades—led by North America, where the U.S. ranks second globally behind Switzerland and Canada sits at 13 with $567K average per adult. Financial assets dominate wealth portfolios in Israel, Taiwan, and the U.S., while Canada’s at 66.2%. Canada also ranks 5 in debt-to-wealth ratio at 18.2%, trailing Brazil. Millionaires surged by nearly 1M globally—over 2,680 daily—with Eastern Europe (Lithuania leading) and the U.S. (adding 440K new millionaires) driving growth. Canada missed the high-growth list. Over 3,300 billionaires now exist, mostly in the U.S. and China. Wealth distribution remains stark: 15% hold $100K–$1M, 41% have $10K–$100K, and just 1.5% own over $1M—while the middle-wealth bracket is expanding fast.
