New UBS data reveals average wealth jumped 19% since 2020, but median wealth dropped 7%, leaving most Australians stuck in a stagnant lower bracket. While 25,000 Aussies hit millionaire status last year, the median adult holds just $300K, ranking Australia 52nd out of 56 countries for inequality. Globally, Australia ranks 5th in average wealth ($613K) but 3rd in median wealth — a stark divide. Since 2000, only China has seen a bigger surge in high-net-worth individuals, with ultra-high earners growing by 11% across both $5M–$10M and $50M–$100M brackets. The top is soaring — the middle is sinking.
