Key findings
- Whereas total wealth or net worth is commonly used to indicate an individual’s overall financial status, for wealth and asset managers, the level of investable assets is far more valuable as an indicator of an individual’s financial flexibility, risk capacity, and wealth-building potential.
- Globally, there are an estimated 16 million individuals with at least $1m in investable wealth each. Together, they hold a collective stock of $67.3tn of investable assets, equivalent to more than half of global annual GDP. This stock of assets is expected to grow to $97.5tn by 2030, an increase of 45% from 2025.
- Investable wealth is not held equally among the wealthy. Almost 90% of this global wealthy population — some 14.1 million individuals — have investable wealth of between $1m and $5m, but collectively hold just 39% of these investable assets (to the tune of $27tn). In the uppermost tier, comprising just 1.2% of this wealthy population, some 190,000 individuals have investable wealth in excess of $30m each, holding an outsized 35% of investable wealth among this group (totaling $24tn).
- Demonstrating their value as an introducer to other highly valuable prospects, the typical wealthy individual with $1m+ in investable assets has a direct connection to more than 100 other wealthy individuals.
- The US is by far the largest market for investable wealth. The country has more than 6.8 million individuals with at least $1m in investable wealth each, totaling a collective stock of $26.2tn of investable assets. China and Japan rank second and third respectively.
- This group of global wealthy is heavily male-dominated, with women accounting for just a 21% share. The average age of those with $1m+ in investable wealth is 62; this rises to 68 among those with $30m+ of investable assets. The vast majority are self-made when it comes to having created their fortunes, although inheritance plays a role for one-quarter of those with $30m+ in investable wealth.
Why investable assets matter
Not all assets are created equal. Whereas total net worth is commonly used as a measure of an individual’s overall financial status, from the perspective of wealth managers, financial advisors and asset managers, the level of investable assets or wealth is a more valuable indicator of an individual’s financial flexibility, risk capacity, and wealth-building potential.
The portfolios of the wealthy tend to be diversified across a wide range of asset classes. These can include stocks and bonds; money market funds; real estate; savings and pension/retirement accounts; private business holdings and stock options; commodities; private equity; luxury personal goods and collectibles (fine art and wine, jewelry, vehicles); and, of course, cash. Individuals in higher wealth tiers may also have more exclusive investments, including off-market opportunities (for example, limited-access hedge funds, venture capital platforms, direct co-investments, and private banking deals), often accessed via complex family office structures and cross-border arrangements.
Investable assets – and the focus of this report – are the portion of an individual’s wealth holdings that are liquid, transferable, and available for investment in financial markets.
What are investable assets?
Investable assets/wealth are the portion of an individual’s wealth holdings that are liquid, transferable, and available for investment in financial markets. They typically include cash; dividends; cash-equivalent holdings in savings accounts and short-term deposits; publicly traded marketable securities (such as stocks, bonds and ETFs); and certain short-term alternative investments. For the purposes of this study, we use the terms investable assets or investable wealth interchangeably.
They exclude direct holdings of privately-held business holdings, real estate (primary residence and all other personal or investment properties), luxury personal goods and collectibles, and all other non-tradeable illiquid assets. Net worth, by contrast, is a comprehensive measure of the total value of all such holdings, and any other personal assets, minus all outstanding debts and liabilities (such as mortgages and other loan agreements).
An individual’s total investable wealth will often differ considerably from their total net worth. The extent to which it does will be largely determined by their portfolio structure, and the degree to which their total wealth holdings are diversified across liquid or illiquid asset classes. For example, individuals in large global cities may own an expensive home, which boosts the value of their net worth; but they may lack sizeable liquid assets.
This, in turn, can often reflect stage of life. Younger wealthy individuals will generally focus on capital accumulation, whereas older cohorts tend to shift toward income-generating assets. To illustrate: two individuals, one younger and one older, may each hold $2m in investable wealth. Yet the former individual may have a total net worth of $4m and the latter a much higher $10m, with the latter having the majority of their wealth tied up in illiquid assets that cannot be drawn down or accessed easily, such as holdings in a business partnership or a portfolio of real estate investments.
Globally, there are an estimated 50.2 million individuals who qualify as ‘millionaires’ by total net worth, of which almost a third — some 16 million — hold at least $1m in investable wealth.
Investable wealth is what really matters
For the wealth and asset management segments, the level of investable wealth is what really matters. It serves as a baseline measure that determines which strategies are most appropriate, initially in terms of client acquisition and, subsequently, portfolio management. An individual’s stock of available assets will influence not only their likely risk appetite and the level of service provision they require, but also their suitability (and eligibility) for certain products and the relative complexity of producing a personalized investment plan for them.
Clients with substantial investable wealth will typically require more sophisticated and bespoke services — such as estate planning and cross-border tax optimization — whereas the focus of those holding investable wealth around the $1m threshold will tend to be on more stable and predictable investment returns and retirement planning.
Connecting to the wealthy
While the focus on clients and prospects’ investable wealth is understandable, this does mean that their value as potential introducers to other valuable wealthy prospects is often overlooked. A personal introduction is far more likely to be successful in making an emotional connection to a specific wealth or investment service.
The networks of individuals with $1m+ in investable wealth are highly valuable. Over the course of their lives, these wealthy individuals forge connections with large numbers of similarly wealthy and influential people as they build and run their businesses, serve on the boards of companies or not-for-profit organizations, and make personal introductions at corporate and leisure events, during holidays and in other ways. In fact, the typical wealthy individual knows more than 100 other valuable prospects.
These connections to other wealthy individuals present opportunities for wealth and asset managers to connect with, develop relationships with and, eventually, acquire additional clients. Organizations that harness the power of these connections stand to benefit significantly in achieving their commercial objectives.
The global wealthy (with $1 million+ of investable assets)
In 2025 there were an estimated 16 million individuals worldwide with at least $1m in investable wealth. The total stock of investable wealth held by this high net worth group amounted to $67.3tn, on a par with more than half of the annual output of the global economy and 10 times larger than the US federal budget. In a larger context, this group holds 28% of the world’s total investable assets.
The majority of the global wealthy hold $1m-5m in investable wealth
Almost 90% of the global wealthy population — some 14.1 million individuals — have investable wealth of between $1m and $5m. This large cohort has a median level of investable wealth of $1.5m and, collectively, holds a stock of almost $27tn of investable assets (a two-fifths share of the global total). Rising up the pyramid, a further 1.7 million individuals hold investable assets of between $5m and $30m, with a median level of $7.8m. This group represents just over 10% of the global wealthy class and holds one-quarter ($17tn) of the total stock of investable assets.
In the uppermost tier, some 190,500 individuals each have investable wealth in excess of $30m. Comprising just 1.2% of the wealthy population, this privileged segment collectively holds an outsized one-third share of global investable assets, totaling almost $24tn. The median level of investable wealth among this group is a substantial $51m, allowing for highly diversified portfolios across multiple asset classes. This is especially the case among the exclusive global billionaire class, for whom the breadth of investment opportunities and the overall stock of investable assets are of a far greater magnitude.
Almost 90% of the global wealthy population — some 14.1 million individuals — have investable wealth of between $1m and $5m.
A growing opportunity
The global wealthy class has expanded strongly over the past decade, amid robust capital market growth, rapid digital transformation, broadening wealth generation across emerging markets, and the rising frequency of inter-generational estate transfers and family gifting. Profound geopolitical shifts are adding new layers of uncertainty to a complex and volatile investment landscape. Nevertheless, further vigorous expansion of the global wealthy population is expected over the next five years, bolstering demand for specialized and tailored services across the wealth management and asset management segments.
We forecast that, by 2030, the number of individuals with at least $1m in investable wealth will have grown to 23.5 million — a substantial increase of more than 7 million from its 2025 level. This will be accompanied by a projected 45% rise in their collective stock of investable assets, to $97.5tn. The distribution across the three major tiers is expected to be relatively stable in terms of population and total investable wealth, notwithstanding a likely continuation of the hyper-concentration of global wealth at the very top, among the largely technology-focused ‘super-billionaire’ class.
By 2030, the number of individuals with $1m+ in investable wealth is forecast to rise to 23.5 million, up from 16 million today.
A regional view
In 2025 the world’s largest regional wealth hub, North America, was home to 46% of the global wealthy population with $1m+ in investable wealth — an estimated 7.4 million individuals, with the vast majority in the US. Economic and corporate strength, deep and sophisticated financial markets, and a supportive policy environment for private enterprise are some of the factors that underpin this geographic concentration of investable wealth. The region’s high net worth population held a cumulative stock of $29.3tn of investable assets, two-fifths of the global total. In recent years, holdings have been bolstered by strong capital market returns, firm economic growth, and robust wealth creation in the highly developed technology sector, amid a more polarized and unpredictable political and policy climate.
One-quarter of the global population with $1m+ in investable wealth in 2025 were based in Asia, the second-ranked region. Investable assets totaling $18.1tn were held by an estimated 4.2 million individuals, of which more than two-thirds were based in the two largest wealth markets, China and Japan. Strong regional economic growth, key global financial hubs, favorable demographics, large and expanding consumer markets, and vibrant high-growth sectors all support rising levels of investable wealth, although, from a region-wide perspective, there are constraints from underdeveloped capital markets, lax and uneven regulation, and the relatively large share of wealth allocated to more illiquid holdings such as real estate and private business ownership.
Europe accounts for the third-largest share of the global wealthy and, in 2025, was home to an estimated 3.1 million individuals with $1m+ in investable wealth — half the number in North America. Softer trend growth, ageing demographics, and more extensive regulation and taxation regimes mean that entrepreneurialism and new wealth creation tend to be more limited than in the US and Asia (and some other emerging markets). Nevertheless, the region’s strong institutions, long-established private wealth and financial markets, savings culture, and the generally older age profile of the wealthy class translate into a still-considerable stock of investable assets, totaling $13.8tn.
Collectively, the other four main regions were home to a modest 10% of those with $1m+ in investable wealth in 2025, totaling some 1.3 million individuals, with overall investable assets of $6.1tn. Outside of the ‘big three,’ the Middle East had the largest share, just ahead of Latin America and the Caribbean. Both regions have a number of established and fast-growing wealth hubs driving robust asset accumulation, but their less mature market status, as well as limitations in regional infrastructure and economic diversification, and the high degree of wealth concentrated among the regional elite, are inhibiting factors on broader private-sector dynamism and levels of actual investable assets. This applies to an ever-greater extent in the smallest wealth region, Africa, while market size limitations are a major constraint on total investable wealth in the more developed Pacific region (which primarily reflects developments in Australia, the region’s largest economy).
What are the main determinants and growth drivers of investable wealth?
A wide variety of day-to-day factors shape the stock of investable assets held by an individual or at a country level. Macroeconomic performance is a key fundamental, influencing corporate profits, personal income and savings capacity, with fiscal and monetary policies affecting asset valuations, real returns, currency movements and cross-border investment flows. Economic cycles will not affect every asset class the same way, so diversified holdings with different drivers of return can be critical in driving longer-term growth of investable assets. Investment strategies, savings behavior and portfolio preferences will also be shaped by demographic trends, such as population profile (whether young or ageing), levels of urbanization, and the distribution of wealth.
Structural elements ranging from the depth and diversification of financial markets to levels of digitalization and the international mobility of capital can have a significant impact on investable wealth, determining accessibility to investment opportunities and the sophistication of wealth planning, financial leverage, and tax-optimization strategies. In a similar vein, by shaping overall risk appetite, cultural attitudes toward saving and investing, as well as levels of financial literacy and trust in institutions, exert an influence on portfolio structures and asset growth potential. In sum, while the wealthy class in a given country will be exposed to similar economic, political and regulatory developments (among other factors), every individual’s asset structure, capital concentration and market exposure is unique, so the impact on their stock of investable wealth will be different in each case.
Top three countries
The US is by far the largest market for investable wealth. It is home to 43% of the global population with investable wealth of $1m+, equivalent to the combined share of both Asia and Europe. In 2025, this wealthy class of some 6.8 million individuals held a substantial $26tn of investable assets, three times the level of second-ranked China. Around 90% are in the $1m-5m tier, with just below 1% holding investable wealth in excess of $30m. US dominance stems from its status as the world’s largest economy, with the deepest capital markets, backed by a supportive tax and regulatory framework for wealth creation, diversified sources of investable assets, and engrained cultural norms that lean towards the accumulation of financial wealth and broad engagement with investment products.
Although well behind the US, China stands out as the other leading global hub for investable wealth. China’s wealthy population of 2.1 million individuals (a 13% global share) is more than double that of next-ranked Japan. The economy’s transition to higher-value and more technologically advanced sectors and services will be a key driver of investable asset growth over the coming years, alongside a deepening of capital markets and large-scale generational wealth transfers. Constraining factors include heightened global trade protectionism, structural weaknesses in the real-estate sector (limiting access to liquidity), and capital-account controls (limiting access to a more diversified asset base).
Third-ranked Japan is home to just over 791,000 individuals with investable wealth of $1m+ each. Differing in certain respects from the other main Asian wealth centers, Japan’s long-established savings culture among a generally older and more risk-averse demographic has been the primary driver of its investable capital stock of $3tn.
Among the top ten, Europe’s two largest high net worth markets, Germany and the UK, each have wealthy populations of below 500,000 individuals. Similar to Japan, the stock of liquid holdings in Germany derives primarily from a longstanding mix of entrepreneurial wealth from an advanced industry base and a strong culture of saving and conservative investing. This contrasts with the UK’s wealth-generation focus on the financial and real estate sectors, as well as through sophisticated cross-border private banking and investment activities.
The US, China and Japan are home to more than half of the global wealthy population with $1m+ of investable assets.
Volatility of investable wealth
Once an individual’s investable wealth reaches a certain level, how likely is it to remain at this level over the course of a year? Just like net worth, an individual’s level of investable wealth can be positively or negatively affected by several factors.
The volatility of an individual’s investable wealth will often be impacted by global asset markets but also by the structure of their wealth holdings and the life stage they are at personally and professionally.
An increase in an individual’s investable wealth will tend to stem from the sale of a business or a stake in a business; the value of their public holdings such as stocks going up (these are tied into the inherent volatility of global asset markets, and so may go up or down in value); the sale of a luxury asset (such as yachts, jets, fine wines, jewelry); or receiving an inheritance, among other things. In turn, a decline in an individual’s investable wealth will tend to stem from the purchase of a business/business stake or luxury asset, tax requirements, divorce, or making a major philanthropic donation.
Looking at the past ten years, our data shows that more than two-thirds of wealthy individuals’ investable wealth remains in the same investable wealth tier on an annual basis. Almost a fifth see their investable wealth ascend into a higher tier, and 14% see their wealth descend into a lower tier. Potential volatility of investable wealth is important for wealth and asset managers to consider, as this volatility will have an impact on their clients’ and prospects’ financial decisions when it comes to assets that are available to invest as well as their investment plans.
Profiling the global wealthy
The global wealthy population with investable wealth of $1m+ is a large and diverse group of individuals. Identifying and understanding key traits of this wealthy class and building awareness not only of the similarities but also the foremost differences across wealth tiers, age groups, and by gender and region, is invaluable for any organization looking to prospect for and engage with this influential and expanding demographic. In this section, we examine a variety of characteristics, from age profile and wealth holdings to primary industry focus, preferred interests and hobbies, and philanthropic engagement, providing a unique insight into this high net worth population.
Demographics and source of wealth
The global wealthy class is heavily male-dominated, though women are better represented among those with $1m-5m of investable wealth.
This inequitable gender distribution is more pronounced in the higher investable wealth tiers. While just over one-fifth of all individuals with investable assets of $1m-5m are women, this share falls to 11% among those with investable wealth of $30m+. Female representation is nevertheless on a gradual upward path, influenced by shifting regional patterns of global wealth, evolving cultural (and boardroom) attitudes, more accessible and diverse market opportunities for capital accumulation, and the rising number of intergenerational wealth transfers.
The average age of the wealthy class is 62. This rises to 68 among those with $30m+ of investable assets.
While digital transformation and more frequent wealth transfers have accelerated the wealth-accumulation process for some individuals, on average, an extended period of time is required to accrue (and sustain) a significant portfolio of investable assets. Overall, the global wealthy class has an average age of 62, with some 85% above the age of 50. A majority of individuals are in the 50-70 age bracket, across all three major tiers of investable wealth. Representation of the younger cohort (aged under 50) is highest, at 17%, among those with investable assets of $1m-5m. This share declines to 7% in the more exclusive $30m+ tier, where the average age is 68 and some 45% are older than 70.
The vast majority of the global wealthy have self-made portfolios, although inheritance plays a role for one-quarter of those with $30m+ in investable wealth.
Almost 90% of individuals with $1m+ in investable wealth crafted their own net worth (the ‘self-made’), reflecting the dominant entrepreneurial and business focus among the global wealthy (aided by the long-term rising trend in most asset markets). Inherited wealth is more prevalent among those in higher wealth tiers. While the share of heirs with solely inherited fortunes is low across the board (accounting for 2% in the $1m-5m tier, rising to 6% of those with $30m+), one in ten of all individuals with $1m+ in investable wealth have benefitted from handed down family wealth to supplement their self-made holdings. This proportion rises to almost 20% for those in the $30m+ tier, highlighting the potentially profitable investment opportunities that an injection of family wealth can open up. Globally, the respective share of individuals with this blend of self-created and inherited wealth is on the rise, amid the growing frequency of inter-generational estate transfers and family gifting among an expanding wealthy class.
Primary industry
Business and consumer services, and banking and finance, are the main industry focuses of the global wealthy.
Almost half of the global wealthy population aged under 70 have either business and consumer services or banking and finance as their primary industry focus (the share is lower among the 70+ cohort, reflecting more limited involvement in financial services). Structural trends such as urbanization, digitalization, and an expanding global middle class support a growing array of wealth-creation channels across the business and consumer services markets, while banking and finance remains a still-prominent driver of global wealth generation, despite a mild loss of influence over the past decade.
This latter shift partly reflects the dynamic development of technology and the related growth in wealth-enrichment opportunities across the hospitality and entertainment sector (amid the explosion in the use of social media and ‘influencers’). These are the next most common primary industries among the wealthy aged under 50 — albeit with fairly modest shares of 6-7% — with representation in each case noticeably lower in older age groups.
Among those aged over 70, the key standout is a greater focus than the younger cohort on the non-profit and social organizations sector, which ranks second after business and consumer services, with a clear gap to third-placed banking and finance. Interest and participation in the non-profit space tends to rise in line with age across all wealth tiers, as individuals wind down (to varying degrees) from their day-to-day commercial responsibilities. Fewer business commitments gives them scope to devote greater time and resources to philanthropic initiatives and more socially minded activities. Meanwhile, for all ages, healthcare and real estate are sectors that rank among the more prominent focus areas of the wealthy, with representation in both sectors slightly higher among the 70+ demographic.
Interests and hobbies
Sports and philanthropy are the most popular non-work interests among men and women, respectively, amid clear regional and gender preferences.
With ample resources at their disposal, the wealthy typically take part in and enjoy a wide variety of activities and hobbies. Whereas the top interests and passions exhibit a fairly similar pattern across age groups and wealth tiers, a more diverse picture emerges in a regional comparison and between men and women. At a broad level, sport is the most popular interest among wealthy males in all three main regions, while, among women, philanthropy holds a similarly dominant position. Other leading interests include reading/writing, travel, education, technology, and art.
The wide appeal of sports — as an active leisure pursuit, for social relaxation or, increasingly, for purposes of investment and ownership prestige — is evident in its second-placed ranking among women in Europe and Asia, and third in North America. In the case of philanthropy, there is a strong gender crossover in North America, where it is the second-most common interest among wealthy males (not far behind sports). However, their counterparts in Europe and Asia are noticeably less engaged, at least publicly, with philanthropic initiatives. Interest among men in both regions is less than half that of their female peers and well below the level in North America.
Albeit not to an excessive degree, there are other clear distinctions by gender and region. Reading/writing, travel, art, music, fashion, animals, and education are all more popular interests among women than men (especially so in the case of art and fashion), while the reverse is true for technology and, to an extent, the outdoors. Regionally, the wealthy class in North America (men and women) display a much stronger interest in the outdoors and, to an extent, in health and wellness. Europe stands out positively in the areas of art and fashion. The overall pattern in Asia is of a more balanced distribution of interests, with a key takeaway being the lower popularity of sport, the outdoors, and art compared with the other regions.
Philanthropic causes
Engagement rises the higher the investable wealth tier, with education the most common charitable giving cause.
Whether influenced by global developments, personal motivations or local issues, wealthy donors have a wide range of charitable causes to which they give. Those related to education attract the largest share of gifting across all three investable wealth tiers, encompassing scholarships, educational support and outreach programs, teacher training, higher education funding, new infrastructure and more. This includes alumni gifting to alma maters, a longstanding tradition in the US that many institutions around the world are seeking to encourage as schooling becomes more globalized and as public funding sources are squeezed. There is also broad interest in donating funds to enhance and improve access to social services, to support the arts and cultural activities, and to strengthen healthcare provision and medical research.
Engagement across all major areas of charitable giving rises as the level of investable wealth increases. This increased participation is most evident in the fields of arts and culture and, especially, healthcare and medical research, where the share of philanthropic individuals with $30m+ of investable assets is approaching twice that of those in the $1m-5m tier. While by no means a linear correlation, higher personal liquid wealth will generally entail a greater willingness to be involved with philanthropic initiatives.
Higher liquid assets will generally entail a greater willingness and capacity to be involved with philanthropic initiatives.
In part, this reflects the fact that the stock of investable assets often rises with age, with the prioritization of interests among older individuals affording them more time to devote to benevolent causes and, for some, engendering a greater obligation to ‘give back’ to society in later life.

Methodology
Our methodology and data assets
To size the population of those with $1m+ of investable wealth and their collective stock of wealth, we use our proprietary Wealth and Investable Assets Model. This model produces statistically significant estimates for total private wealth and estimates the size of the population by level of wealth and investable assets for the world and each of the top 70 economies, which account for 98% of world GDP.
We use a two-step process. First, to estimate total private wealth, we use econometric techniques that incorporate a large number of national variables, such as stock market values, GDP, tax rates, income levels and savings from sources such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and national statistics authorities. Second, we estimate wealth distribution across each country’s population. Owing to a lack of wealth distribution data, most wealth models estimate wealth distribution patterns using income distribution data.
Our proprietary database of millions of records on the world’s wealthiest individuals enables us to construct wealth distribution patterns using real, rather than assumed, wealth distributions, making the model more reliable. We then use the resulting Lorenz curves to distribute the net wealth of a country across its population. The database is also used to construct investable asset distribution patterns across each country’s population. The model uses residency as the determinant of an individual’s location.
Our model also estimates population, wealth and investable assets for the world’s 200 major cities as ranked by nominal GDP in US$. These cities are defined on the basis of urban agglomerations (UAs) and metropolitan (metro) areas, which include the built-up areas outside the administrative core. We find that metro and urban areas are closer to self-contained entities compared with city administrative cores (city proper) because more residents are likely to work and spend within the metro/UA boundaries. We focus on metro areas to ensure comparability because globally comparable city-level data is not available.
To profile the wealthy in greater depth, this report leverages Altrata’s database, the world’s most extensive collection of curated research and intelligence on the wealthy. Our database provides insights into their financial profile, career history, known associates, affiliations, family background, education, philanthropic endeavors, passions, hobbies, interests and much more. Our proprietary valuation model (as defined by net worth) assesses all asset holdings, including privately and publicly held businesses and investable assets. The database uses the primary business address as the determinant of a wealthy individual’s location. References to $ or dollars refer to US dollars.
