As many dollar-millionaires worldwide
The Club of the Reich is growing – and their assets too. Germany is one of the countries with the most millionaires. But in this country the recent development was a little different.
The club of the dollar millionaires worldwide has grown again – especially thanks to increasing courses in many stock markets. Estimated 23.4 million people and thus 2.6 percent more than 2023 last year had an assets of at least one million dollars.
According to the consulting company Capgemini, this has been the highest level since the first evaluation in 1997. According to the recent “World Wealth Report”, according to the recent “World Wealth Report”, according to the calculations, 90.5 trillion dollars (79.3 trillion euros) meant an increase of 4.2 percent for the previous year. The lion’s share of the increase in assets once again came from the United States.
Less dollar millionaires in Germany
Germany asserts itself in third place in the ranking of the countries with the most dollar millionaires – although their number in Germany has shrunk by a good 40,000 within a year: 1.605 (previous year: 1.646) Millions of people, according to the Capgemini evaluation, belonged to the group of wealthy private individuals in 2024 (“High Net Worth Individuals” – in short: HNWI).
According to Capgemini, the fact that the circle of dollar millionaires in Germany has become smaller in Germany is most likely to be explained with declining real estate prices. According to the calculations, the assets of the rich in this country remained almost unchanged with $ 6.32 trillion.
Two thirds of the rich in four countries
At the top of the ranking, the United States is at a distance of 7.993 (previous year: 7.431) millions of dollars millionaires. Japan with 3.990 (3.777) millions of wealthy private individuals is still in second place. The three countries mentioned plus China combine almost two thirds (64.5 percent) of global dollar millionaires.
Capgemini takes into account stocks, fixed -income securities, alternative investments such as private participation capital, cash and real estate, unless they are used themselves in his “World Wealth Report”, which has been created annually since 1997. Art collections and goods such as cars and jewelry are not included.
