As CEOWORLD magazine explores the complexities of the global economy, one key indicator that sheds light on countries’ financial status is their average net worth per capita. In this analysis of selected countries in 2025, we examine the diversity and wealth that characterize their economies. This study from CEOWORLD magazine ranges from the peak of financial prosperity in Switzerland to the lower end in Sierra Leone.
When comparing wealth between countries, should we focus on average wealth or median wealth?
Many experts argue that median wealth provides a more accurate representation of wealth distribution. The median identifies the middle point of a dataset, meaning that half of the data points lie above this value and half below it. This characteristic makes median wealth less influenced by extreme values, offering a clearer view of the typical situation. In contrast, average wealth reflects the overall average but can be skewed by outliers, such as the extreme fortunes of billionaires.
In 2024, the global average wealth per adult was $95,384. Liechtenstein had the highest average wealth, at $758,637 per person. However, the median wealth was $252,879, indicating a significant difference of over $505,758. In addition to Liechtenstein, five of the top ten countries by average wealth are in Europe, which include Monaco, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Iceland. The table below presents the average wealth per adult in 2024 across 216 countries and territories analyzed by CEOWORLD magazine. The U.S. ranks fifth, with a mean wealth per adult of $579,051. Hong Kong ranks seventh, with the highest average wealth per adult across Asia.
