Global wealth is becoming increasingly concentrated, with a handful of countries dominating household assets in 2025.
From the United States to China and Europe, the world’s richest nations are not only economic powerhouses but also home to lifestyles and infrastructure that reflect their financial strength, whether in technology hubs, advanced transport systems, or cultural landmarks.
According to Forbes, which curated its ranking from UBS’s Global Wealth Report 2025 using data from the OECD, IMF, and World Bank, the U.S. and China together control more than half of global household wealth.
