Ranked: Wealth Per Person Across 22 Major EconomiesKey TakeawaysThe U.S. leads the ranking at $504k in wealth per capita, more than seven times the global average of $69k.Denmark’s $350k per capita is more than seven times Poland’s $47k, a gap of over $300k between two EU member states.China’s wealth per capita stands at $53k, below the global average despite being the world’s second-largest economy.Global wealth hit $570 trillion in 2025, a record high and $40 trillion more than the year before. Across the economies shown here, wealth per capita ranges from $504,000 in the United States to $41,000 in Mexico.This graphic uses McKinsey & Company analysis to visualize wealth per capita across 22 major economies in 2025, with per capita figures calculated using UN World Population Prospects data.The U.S. and Australia: Wealth Outpacing GDPThe U.S. leads the ranking at $504k per capita, with gains driven largely by rising stock prices concentrated among a small number of large tech companies. In second-ranked Australia ($445k), property was the main driver. Real estate there is now equal to 4.5 times annual economic output, the highest ratio of any major economy.The table below ranks 22 major economies by wealth per capita, alongside each country’s total wealth and 2025 population.CountryWealth Per CapitaTotal Wealth ($T)Population (2025, Millions) United States$503,922175.0347.3 Australia$444,87212.027.0 Denmark$349,8542.16.0 Netherlands$348,8346.418.3 Belgium$331,6723.911.8 Canada$323,97413.040.1 Ireland$282,5901.55.3 Austria$274,3162.59.1 Germany$273,56523.084.1 Sweden$272,1312.910.7 France$240,05716.066.7 Spain$229,69311.047.9 Italy$219,79413.059.1 United Kingdom$215,66815.069.6 South Korea$193,54710.051.7 Japan$178,71122.0123.1 Finland$160,0480.95.6 Portugal$105,6491.110.4 Czechia$103,6831.110.6 China$52,96375.01416.1 Poland$47,1931.838.1 Mexico$40,9265.4131.9Because per capita figures are averages rather than medians, they can be pushed higher by wealth concentrated at the top.The Federal Reserve finds that the top 10% of Americans hold roughly two-thirds of all household wealth, while the 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances puts median U.S. household net worth at $192,900. The gap highlights why the $504k per capita figure should not be interpreted as the wealth of a typical American household. At the state level, financial distress also varies widely.Inside Europe’s $300,000 Per Capita DivideDenmark tops the continent at $350k per capita, just behind Australia globally, with the Netherlands close behind at $349k. At the other end, Poland sits at $47k, creating a gap of more than $300k between two EU member states.Eastern European members such as Poland are still building wealth from a lower base than their Western neighbors.In Germany and France, dollar-denominated wealth grew slightly, but both countries saw declines in local currency terms. Falling real estate values were the main culprit.China’s Household Net Worth Is Below the Global AverageChina stands out at just $53k in wealth per capita, below the global average of $69k. By comparison, South Korea sits at $194k and Japan at $179k.Japan saw the largest upswing in household wealth growth in 2025, driven mostly by rising nominal asset values rather than new investment. Chinese households, meanwhile, hold a large share of their wealth in cash and bank deposits rather than stocks or property, limiting their exposure to the asset-price gains that drove wealth growth elsewhere in 2025.Mexico rounds out the ranking at $41k, roughly one-twelfth of the U.S. figure. All figures in the dataset are calculated at market exchange rates. At purchasing power parity, which adjusts for differences in the cost of living, the gap between Mexico and the wealthiest economies would be narrower.Learn More on the Voronoi AppIf you enjoyed this visualization, check out Mapped: The States Carrying the Most Debt Per Resident on the Voronoi app.
