The 2019 global wealth distribution chart reveals significant disparities among countries and regions. The United States leads with a staggering $105.99 trillion, accounting for nearly 30% of the world's wealth. China follows with $63.83 trillion, representing 17.7%. Notably, these two countries alone hold almost half of the global wealth. Japan, Germany, and the United Kingdom also feature prominently, each contributing between 4% and 7% to the total. Europe, as a region, shows a strong presence with countries like France, Italy, and Spain collectively adding substantial wealth. Asia, driven by China, Japan, and India, emerges as a major economic powerhouse. The chart highlights the concentration of wealth in North America, Europe, and Asia, with other regions like Africa and Latin America holding smaller shares. This distribution underscores the economic dominance of a few countries and regions, raising questions about global economic equity and the potential for growth in less wealthy areas. The visualization also reflects the economic impact of emerging markets, particularly in Asia, and the ongoing shifts in global economic power.
