Top 10 Countries Home to the World's Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals 2022

Based on the 2023 World Ultra Wealth Report, Altrata has released a list of countries with the highest number of ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) in 2022.

These UHNWIs have individual net worths exceeding US$30 million or Rp472.35 billion (assuming an exchange rate of Rp15,745 per US$).

The United States (US) had the highest number of UHNWIs, with 129,665 individuals in 2022. Their accumulated wealth totaled US$15.053 trillion.

However, Altrata calculated a 4.3% year-on-year (YoY) decrease in the number of UHNWIs compared to the previous year.

China followed in second place with 47,190 UHNWIs, a 7.1% YoY decrease. Their accumulated wealth reached US$5.31 trillion.

Germany ranked third with 19,590 UHNWIs, down 9.3% YoY, and accumulated wealth of US$2.31 trillion.

Japan was fourth with 14,940 UHNWIs, experiencing a significant 21.9% YoY decrease. The accumulated wealth of UHNWIs in Japan reached US$1.41 trillion.

The United Kingdom ranked fifth with 14,005 UHNWIs, a 9.2% YoY decrease, and accumulated wealth of US$1.42 trillion.

Altrata noted that almost all countries experienced a decline in their ultra-wealthy population.

The countries included in Altrata's report represent three-quarters of the global ultra-wealthy population. The research team believes this mapping can be valuable for companies or organizations targeting this demographic.
