What Are Net Worth Percentiles?
Net worth percentiles divide the global adult population by wealth, showing where an individual stands relative to others. They group people by asset value minus debt, providing a snapshot of financial position worldwide.
Global Population and Wealth Distribution
Data from the Credit Suisse Global Wealth Report shows that a large share of adults hold relatively little wealth, while a small percentage control a significant portion of global assets. Percentile tables often highlight thresholds for median, top 10%, and top 1% wealth levels.
How to Use Percentile Tables
Users can compare their net worth against global benchmarks to understand their financial standing. These tables help investors, researchers, and policymakers quickly interpret wealth concentration and inequality across regions and income groups.
