Based on Credit Suisse Global Wealth Report data, which estimates net worth distribution across 8 billion people. Net worth includes financial assets (savings, investments) minus debts, plus property value.
The global median net worth is approximately $8,654 USD (Credit Suisse, 2024). This means half the world's population has less than this amount. The distribution is extremely unequal.
Approximately $1,000,000 USD in net worth puts you in the global top 1%. The threshold is lower than many assume because most of the world is poor by Western standards.
Wealth is distributed very unequally both within and between countries. The top 1% globally own about 45% of all wealth. Someone with $50,000 net worth is in the top 25% globally but may be average in the US.
Net worth = assets minus liabilities. Assets include savings, investments, property, and valuable possessions. Liabilities include mortgages, student loans, credit card debt, and other debts. Negative net worth is possible.
Reduce high-interest debt, build emergency savings, invest in diversified assets (index funds), increase income through skills or side income, and avoid lifestyle inflation as income grows.
Approximately 1.1% of the global adult population (about 59 million people) have net worth over $1 million USD. In the US, around 8% of households are millionaires.
