2025年全球超級富豪人數激增
核心觀點
- A new report by wealth intelligence firm Altrata indicates a record high in the number of ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) individuals in 2025, driven by an AI trading boom that boosted global markets.
- Altrata defines UHNW individuals as those with a net worth exceeding $30 million. In 2025, this group grew by 14.4% globally, reaching 556,850 individuals by year-end, marking the fastest growth since 2017.
- Factors contributing to this increase include cooling inflation, strong corporate earnings, and market enthusiasm for AI investments, which also boosted the asset values of UHNW individuals.
- The fastest-growing subgroup within the UHNW population in recent years has been ‘billionaires’ (those with over $100 million in net worth), primarily deriving wealth from founding or investing in fast-growing tech companies.
- This trend aligns with other research, such as the ‘World Inequality Report 2026’, which found that the wealthiest billionaires’ wealth grew at an average annual rate of about 8.5% between 1995 and 2025, significantly outpacing the 3.4% average annual growth for the bottom 50% of the global population.
- The top 0.001% of the global wealth pyramid, approximately 60,000 individuals, possess a minimum net worth of $254 million each.
- While the UHNW population constitutes just over 1% of millionaires (those with $1 million+ in net worth), they hold 32% of that group’s wealth. Globally, UHNW individuals represent 0.01% of the adult population but hold 11% of total global private wealth.
- Sources of this wealth include investment returns, successful entrepreneurial ventures, and ongoing intergenerational wealth transfers.
- The United States remains the country with the highest concentration of UHNW individuals, accounting for 37% of the global total. China and Germany follow, with approximately 10% and 5% respectively.
- The New York metropolitan area continues to have the largest number of UHNW residents, followed by metropolitan areas like Hong Kong, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
Key Takeaways
- Global ultra-high-net-worth individuals surged by 14.4% in 2025, the fastest growth since 2017, reaching over 556,000 people.
- AI investment enthusiasm, strong corporate earnings, and cooling inflation fueled this wealth increase.
- Wealth is increasingly concentrating at the top, with billionaires and the top 0.001% seeing disproportionately high wealth growth.
- The US leads in UHNW population, followed by China and Germany, with New York City as the top metropolitan hub.
