The United States accounted for almost 40% of global millionaires in 2024.
In 2023, Europe, the Middle East and Africa had led a rebound in global wealth after a decline in 2022.
Greater China – which the report defined as mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan – led last year for individuals with a net worth of $100,000 to $1 million, accounting for 28.2%, followed by Western Europe with 25.4% and North America with 20.9%.
The majority of people worldwide were below that threshold, however, with over 80% of adults in the UBS sample having a net worth of under $100,000.
Overall, about 1.6% registered a net worth of $1 million or more, the report said.
Over the next five years, the Swiss bank projects average wealth per adult to grow further, led by the United States, and, to a lesser extent, Greater China.
