List of countries by wealth per capita

Countries by medium wealth 2019

The following list of countries by wealth per capita is based on estimates by Bank Credit Suisse for mid-2019 (as of October 2019). For the calculation of assets, which is based on statistics from central banks, among other things, financial and material assets such as real estate , stock market shares and bank balances minus debts are used and divided by the number of adults in a country. The wealth per capita provides information about the breadth of material wealth a country's citizens have. All assets are in US dollars .

According to the Global Wealth Report 2019, the residents of Switzerland have the world's highest average and median wealth ($ 564,653 and $ 227,891, respectively). The population of the African state Sudan, on the other hand, has the lowest wealth of the countries listed on average ($ 534), while that of Haiti has the lowest median wealth ($ 218). Each adult in the world has an average net worth of $ 70,849. However, this value is greatly increased by the very high wealth of a few people. The median net worth is only $ 7,087 per person. Overall, 56.6 percent of the world's people have less than $ 10,000 in assets, while 0.9 percent have more than $ 1 million.

List (2019)

List of countries sorted by the average wealth of each adult in US dollars. The mean wealth (median wealth) of each adult person is also given in USD. The median value includes the wealth inequality within a country and is therefore more informative as to which assets the ordinary person in a country actually has. Much of the data that Credit Suisse has collected comes from estimates.
