List of countries by wealth per adult

This is a list of countries of the world by wealth per adult, from UBS's Global Wealth Databook. Wealth includes both financial and non-financial assets. Farther down is a mean-wealth-only table, from the World Inequality Database.

UBS publishes various statistics relevant for calculating net wealth. These figures are influenced by real estate prices, equity market prices, exchange rates, liabilities, debts, adult percentage of the population, human resources, natural resources and capital and technological advancements, which may create new assets or render others worthless in the future.

In nations where wealth is highly concentrated in a small percentage of people (a higher Gini % in the tables below), the mean (obtained by dividing the total aggregate wealth by the number of adults) can be much higher than the median (the amount that divides the population into two equal groups).
