Net worth measures what people and households own minus what they owe. This page compares how income, savings, housing equity, investing, and debt shape wealth across countries and age groups. You’ll also see how banking systems, stability, and policy affect building assets, while student debt and early-career gaps can slow younger households down. High-profile fortunes are shown through a mix of business ownership, public-market stakes, brand value, and long-term holdings.
