The United States added 441,078 new millionaires in 2025 \u2014 more than 1,200 a day and nearly half of all new millionaires worldwide \u2014 marking the fastest expansion of seven-figure wealth on record, according to the UBS Global Wealth Report 2026<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Swiss bank’s annual survey<\/a> across 56 markets put the total U.S. millionaire population above 23.6 million, more than 40% of the global tally. <\/p>\n

Global personal wealth jumped 10.8% last year, the strongest pace since 2017 and more than double the rate posted in either 2023 or 2024. <\/p>\n

Close to 1 million people joined the millionaire ranks worldwide, and every market in the UBS sample finished the year with more millionaires than it had at the start. <\/p>\n

A strong year for U.S. stocks helped drive the increase. About 79% of U.S. household wealth is held in financial assets \u2014 the fourth-highest share in the UBS survey \u2014 allowing the market rally to disproportionately boost the wealth of invested households. <\/p>\n

A weaker dollar lifted the rest of the field. <\/p>\n

The euro rose nearly 9% against the dollar, boosting Europe’s wealth totals when measured in U.S. dollars. <\/p>\n

The United Kingdom added more than 43,000 millionaires. France, Spain, Japan, and India each added more than 30,000. <\/p>\n

Eastern Europe led the percentage rankings, with Lithuania up 8% and Turkey, Latvia, and Hungary each up more than 5%. <\/p>\n

UBS reported that median wealth, the figure closer to that of a typical household, fell in most countries it tracks, even as averages climbed. <\/p>\n

Households worth between $5 million and $100 million have seen the fastest wealth growth since 2000, with inflation-adjusted wealth rising an average rate of 6.1% a year. By comparison, households worth $1 million to $5 million saw average annual growth of 4%. <\/p>\n

The share of adults with less than $10,000 in wealth fell from nearly 75% in 2000 to just over 41%. At the same time, about 1.5% of adults in the countries and territories surveyed had at least $1 million in wealth. <\/p>\n
