The ginger Co coefficient was lower in 2020 than it was in 2000 and in some Countries the inequality levels are Truly staggering take Brazil for Instance just 1% of Brazilians hold Nearly half of the country's wealth I Don't know about you but those images of Luxurious billers adjacent to flavas and S Paulo they spring to mind all right We'll get to the rich list in just a Second so you can see how you measure up But first we'll reveal what the report Says about wealth distribution across Ethnicities and genders unfortunately on This point the report only has data on The US so finding for relates Exclusively to there and nowhere else According to the 2019 survey on Consumer Finance the median wealth of African-Americans is only about 12.8% of what is owned by and I quote Non-h Hispanic Caucasians which must be the most Roundabout way of saying white I've ever Heard for Hispanics it's a little bit Better but still low at 19.2% now when it comes to income rather Than wealth the story is somewhat better But still staggering according to the Same Source African-Americans earn 58.4% and Hispanics 59% of what Non-hispanic caucasians in when it comes To gender we have to back to 2018 to get The latest figures from credit Swiss
That year the global wealth report Showed that in the wealthy oecd Countries women's wealth was typically Between 65 to 80% of men's wealth Unfortunately there is no data for non Oecd countries but given the fact that Employment opportunities are vastly Better for women in oecd countries you Can imagine the figure is significantly Lower outside the rich world Right on to finding five and this is Where you come in the report reveals Different wealth bands in the world and Shows us what percentage of the world is Included in each band if your net worth Is $10,000 or below you're among the 53% Of people in the lowest band if your net Worth exceeds this you're richer than Over half of all adults worldwide now if Your wealth is between $10,000 and $100,000 your m 1.8 billion people who Make up this band and if you have over 33,5 73 you're among the wealthiest in This band typically this band includes The middle classes in the developing Countries so what if you're above this Well if you have more than $100,000 to Your name but you haven't quite hit the Millionaires Club you're in what the Authors call the upper middle segment This group includes 642 million people together they own 39.4% of the global wealth which is over 3 times their share of the adult
Population this bracket typically Includes the middle class in developed Nations and finally if your wealth Exceeds $1 million congratulations You're a high net worth individual and In the top 1.1% of adults globally now If you're in the millionaires Club You're part of a group of nearly 60 Million people who hold 46% of global Wealth this number represents a Five-fold increase since 2000 due to a Combination of not only increased wealth But also inflation after all because of Inflation a million dollars today is not The same as a million dollars in 2000s In fact the authors know that 4.4 Million of the 60 million people in this Bracket are so-called fake millionaires These people they explain only became Millionaires because of the impact of Inflation fake millionaire or not this Is a very elite group and one that is Expanding rapidly in fact UBS estimates That there will be 86 million Millionaires in the world by 2027 now you might be wondering how many Of these millionaires got their wealth From crypto UBS doesn't go into the Details but a report by Henley and Partners earlier this year which we Covered in a previous video which I'll Link below does in hmps report the World's first crypto wealth report the Author state that there are
88,200 crypto millionaires worldwide With just under half holding their Fortune in Bitcoin it will be Interesting to see how these numbers Change over the next few years Particularly if we're back in a bull run In terms of wealth brackets the UBS Report goes one step further the authors Knowe that there are nearly 9,490 adults with wealth above $100 Million at the end of 2022 of which 7,020 are worth more than 500 million USD but from our perspective this data Only tells us part of the story it Doesn't account for relative wealth for Instance if you're watching this from a Very wealthy country you might be Thinking that $1 million isn't actually That high a threshold to be joining the 1% in fact if you're a property owner in A rich city like Hong Kong San Francisco Sydney and others you're effectively a Millionaire since the median house price Is over $1 Million so then the question becomes how Much money do you need to have to be in The top 1% in the country you live in Thankfully data from night Frank a Leading Global real estate consultancy Provides an answer as you can see from This graphic to join the 1% in Monaco You need to be worth an over eye Watering $12 million in Switzerland it's
About half of that figure while in New Zealand Australia and the US you'll need To have over $5 million to your name on The other end of the spectrum if you Have over $220,000 in Kenya or $60,000 In the Philippines you're in the top 1% Now that's the 1% but what about the Most elite of all what about the Billionaires for insight into this Select bracket we need to turn to visual Capitalist and their fantastic graphic According to their findings there are 3,311 billionaires worldwide and they Collectively have 11.8 trillion dollar In global wealth just 20 people have a Net worth of over $50 billion For context the world's economy is Around $15 Trillion unsurprisingly the largest Proportion of the Uber Rich live in North America with New York City hosting The largest number of billionaires in The world 130 billionaires live in NYC Just ahead of Hong Kong with 114 overall the number of billionaires In China is less than half of that of The US what's interesting here is that While the number of billionaires is Quite heavily concentrated in the US and China when it comes to all individuals With over $50 million to their name the Proportion shifts markedly in fact if You look at this graphic from the UBS Report you'll see the number of high net
Worth individuals in the US is over four Times that of China and ellipses any Other country this suggests that the Wealth among the Uber rich in China is More concentrated than in the US I'll Leave a link to the visual capitalist Findings in the description below in Case you want to dig into the details a Little bit more right so with all of This talk about the Uber Rich it's easy To feel inadequate and unsatisfied this Isn't helped by the ridiculous viral Content on social media but before you Get down on yourself remind yourself That money doesn't necessarily bring you Happiness that's not just some Idol Saying it's backed up by some pretty Rigorous research you might be familiar With the famous 2010 Stanford study by Dan kyman and Angus ston two Nobel Prize Winners They concluded that the amount You earn definitely increases your Happiness but only to a certain Threshold above that threshold after Your basic needs are well and truly met The impact of your wealth on happiness Diminishes to the point of Insignificance the figure in the 2010 Study is $75,000 and takes data from US citizens Adjusted for inflation the figure is About $15,500 today however Dan has since Revised his findings in light of other
