The UBS Global Wealth Report calculates that Swiss adults have an average wealth equivalent to $910,382. <\/p>\n

The United States ($696,277) and Luxembourg ($654,732) follow in second and third place respectively in the country wealth rankings.<\/p>\n

Global private wealth grew in 2025 at a rate last seen in 2017 \u2013 though the gains were unevenly distributed.<\/p>\n

UBS defines wealth as the sum of all financial assets and tangible assets, such as property, minus debts. The assets of private pension funds were also included in the calculation.<\/p>\n

13% hold 69% of wealth<\/p>\n

Some 944,000 adults in Switzerland are dollar millionaires \u2013 equivalent to 13.1% of all adults in the country. This group accounts for around 69% of total private wealth.<\/p>\n

In terms of median wealth, however, Switzerland ranks only eighth with $145,555 per person. Luxembourg leads the way here with $394,005, followed by Belgium with $277,166 and Australia with $210,783. The median is the statistical midpoint: 50% have more wealth and 50% less.<\/p>\n

Even over a longer time horizon, the picture in Switzerland is mixed. Between 2000 and 2025, average wealth per adult grew by just over 11% in real terms, whilst real median wealth fell by just under 15% over the same period.<\/p>\n

Global private wealth rose by 10.8% in US dollar terms in 2025, a significantly stronger increase than in the previous years 2024 (+4.6%) and 2023 (+4.2%). <\/p>\n

Growth was strongest in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at 17.5%, followed by the Americas at 8.5% and the Asia-Pacific region at 5.9%.<\/p>\n

According to UBS, the regional differences partly reflect exchange rate movements. The depreciation of the US dollar is mentioned in particular.<\/p>\n

Globally, too, growth was unevenly distributed. While average wealth increased worldwide, median wealth fell in most markets. The number of dollar millionaires rose by around 1.5% in 2025, which corresponds to almost one million new millionaires \u2013 nearly half of whom were in the US.<\/p>\n
