Switzerland Tops US As World’s Wealthiest Nation Per Person

In 2024, global wealth per person increased by 4.6%, but which countries have the highest wealth per person?

This visualization, via Visual Capitalist’s Niccolo Conte, ranks the top 15 countries by average and median wealth per person, based on data from the UBS Global Wealth Report 2025.

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:

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.

Key Takeaways

  • Luxembourg’s immense GDP per capita ($141K) masks the fact that much of it is generated by non-residents who commute in to work.
  • Qatar’s oil windfall lifts GDP per capita ($72K) but that hasn’t translated into broader wealth.
  • English-speaking countries translate middling GDP per capita into high median wealth through property ownership and strong pension systems.
  • Generating national wealth and distributing it to people are distinctly different economic challenges.

Previously, when we’ve covered 25 richest countries, we did so by GDP per capita alone. As a result, tiny states and global city-states tended to dominate the top of the rankings.

Introducing per capita income and median wealth per adult paints a more nuanced picture. It shows that where money is produced is not always where it ultimately accumulates.

The data for this visualization comes from the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the UBS Global Wealth Report 2024.

It compares each country’s 2025 GDP per capita, 2024 GNI per capita, and median adult wealth in 2024 to reveal three very different “rich lists.”

Financial Detail Shows How Crooked Congress Really Is

How do bartenders get to be multi-millionaires on a salary of $180,000? It’s insider trading. It’s on both sides of the aisle so we have a uni-party.

They are going to Washington to get rich, not serve the people. I hope you remember that when voting this year. Don’t believe what they promise, go on their record.

They are getting better returns than the best stock traders. It’s because they are insider trading. 

Excerpt and link to the story below:

How is it that these men and women enter Congress with modest wealth but emerge as multi-millionaires many times over? The answer is surprisingly simple: stocks. It’s as if our lawmakers have an uncanny knack for stock trading. Perhaps they were all stock traders in a previous life? Or better yet, maybe they’re part of an exclusive “Insider Trading” club that excludes the likes of you and me?

Most of you are likely aware of Pelosi’s alleged “insider trading” activities. She entered Congress as a member of the upper-class San Francisco elite and appears poised to leave as the “Wolf of Wall Street.”

This year, Democrats absolutely dominated their Republican counterparts.

Dems were up 31%, and Republicans 18%.

Meanwhile, the S&P500 itself was up 24%.

Many traded despite conflicts in their committees in record numbers.

Great Sayings – Who Is Rich? – Benjamin Franklin, But I Say Different

“Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody.” – Franklin

I think this was referring to materialism  People always want more, even when they get what they want.

King Midas wanted everything he touched to be gold, but he couldn’t eat and lost his child who was turned to gold.

I read that 4 out of 5 NFL players go bankrupt after being multimillionaires.  Most lottery winners declare bankruptcy.  Steve Jobs, Rockefeller’s, the Rothschild’s, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes and all of the most wealthy died stinking rich but wanting more.

You can’t serve 2 masters.  It’s a quote in the Bible.  You will serve one or the other, God or money.  It also says that where your treasure is, so shall your heart be.

For some, it is not wealth, rather they seek fame or some hobby or a person.  None of that will make you rich.

I’ve already said above where to look for answers that will give you your only source of happiness.  It isn’t in material things, rather spiritual.   There is nothing wrong with having material wealth, just don’t worship it.

Good luck
