Global Personal Wealth Rises 10.8% in 2025, Nearly One Million New Millionaires Created
Global personal wealth rose 10.8% in 2025, marking the fastest growth in years and creating nearly one million new US dollar millionaires, with the United States contributing over 440,000. This increase was driven by strong financial markets and rising asset values, alongside a weaker US dollar boosting European wealth in dollar terms. Despite overall gains, median wealth declined in most countries, indicating growing wealth inequality worldwide, according to UBS's Global Wealth Report covering 56 markets.
