Singapore ranks 6th globally in average wealth in 2025

Median wealth ranked 20th globally at $125,364.

Singapore ranked sixth globally for average wealth per adult at about $685,382 (US$527,217) in 2025, whilst its median wealth ranked 20th at around $125,364 (US$96,434), according to the UBS Global Wealth Report 2026.

Global personal wealth rose 10.8% in US dollar terms in 2025, up from 4.6% in 2024 and 4.2% in 2023, marking its fastest growth since 2017.

Switzerland topped the ranking with average wealth per adult of about $1.18m (US$910,382), followed by the US, Luxembourg, Hong Kong, and Australia.

Europe, the Middle East, and Africa recorded the strongest regional growth at 17.5%, followed by the Americas at 8.5% and Asia-Pacific at 5.9%.

UBS said the number of US dollar millionaires increased by 1.5% in 2025, adding nearly one million millionaires worldwide.

The US accounted for more than 440,000 of the new millionaires, whilst more than half of global personal wealth remained concentrated in the US and mainland China.

"Global wealth is evolving at pace, with growth increasingly shaped by shifting economic conditions, technological change, and new sources of opportunity across markets," said Iqbal Khan, Co-President of UBS Global Wealth Management.

Robert Karofsky, Co-President of UBS Global Wealth Management, said global wealth had risen for a third consecutive year, with average individual wealth increasing faster than global economic growth.

The report said future wealth gains would increasingly depend on access to investable assets and the ability to diversify portfolios.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
