United States Net Worth in 2017
In 2017, the net worth of the United States was estimated at roughly 90 trillion dollars. This figure represents the total value of assets owned by households, businesses, and governments, minus liabilities such as debt. It includes real estate, financial assets, and corporate equity across the country.
Components of National Wealth
Household net worth made up the largest share, driven by real estate, stocks, and retirement accounts. Corporate assets, including equipment and intellectual property, added significant value. Government assets, such as infrastructure and natural resources, were offset by public debt and obligations.
Key Economic Context
The 2017 net worth figure reflected post-recovery growth after the 2008 financial crisis. Rising stock markets and housing values increased overall wealth, while debt levels remained elevated.
