The U.S. is home to over 905,000 individuals worth $10 million or more, nearly 39% of all of the world’s HNWIs. It also tops the charts for the most centi-millionaires (individuals worth over $100 million) and billionaires in the world.
China ranks second with nearly 472,000 HNWIs or 20% of the global total, leading other Asian countries by a large margin. However, China was also projected to see the biggest outflow (emigration) of millionaires in the world in 2024.
Japan and India round out the top four, while Hong Kong, at #10, also represents a key Asian wealth hub. On the European front, Germany, the UK, and France remain significant centers of high-net-worth individuals.
From a regional perspective, North America and Asia together host 78% of all HNWIs. These two regions also saw the biggest uptick in the HWNI growth from 2023 to 2024 at around 5% each, with Europe seeing a more modest 1.4% growth.
