This corresponds to a growth of almost ten percent. At constant exchange rates, the increase in wealth is even 12.7 percent – more than at any time in the data series going back 20 years.
On average, the wealth of every adult in the world has increased by around $87,500, the study further shows. The boom allowed more and more people to join the ranks of millionaires: according to the data, there are more than 62.5 million people worldwide whose assets, minus debts, are more than one million dollars.
