Highest Average Wealth per Person by Country
Average wealth is calculated by dividing a country’s total household wealth by its adult population. While useful, this figure can be skewed by large wealth concentrations at the very top—such as billionaire holdings.
Below are the top 15 countries with the highest average wealth per adult in 2025:
| Rank | Country | Average wealth per adult |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 🇨🇭 Switzerland | $687,166 |
| 2 | 🇺🇸 United States | $620,654 |
| 3 | 🇭🇰 Hong Kong | $601,195 |
| 4 | 🇱🇺 Luxembourg | $566,735 |
| 5 | 🇦🇺 Australia | $516,640 |
| 6 | 🇩🇰 Denmark | $481,558 |
| 7 | 🇸🇬 Singapore | $441,596 |
| 8 | 🇳🇿 New Zealand | $393,773 |
| 9 | 🇳🇱 Netherlands | $370,697 |

| 13 | 🇬🇧 United Kingdom | $339,700 |
| 14 | 🇸🇪 Sweden | $334,391 |

Switzerland once again leads globally, with average wealth per adult at $687,166. The United States follows closely at $620,654, while Hong Kong ranks third at $601,195.
As in previous years, many of the top-ranking countries are small but globally influential financial hubs like Hong Kong and Luxembourg.
A notable change from last year is that the U.S. rose from fourth rank ($564K) in 2024 to second in 2025 with an average wealth of $621K per adult.
Highest Median Wealth per Person by Country
Median wealth offers a more representative view of wealth distribution within a country. It identifies the mid-point of the population, where half the adult population has more, and half has less.
By this measure, wealth gaps become more visible. In the United States, for example, median wealth is five times lower than the average.
Here are the countries with the highest median wealth per adult in 2025:
| Rank | Country | Median wealth per adult |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 🇱🇺 Luxembourg | $395,340 |
| 2 | 🇦🇺 Australia | $268,424 |
