UBS publishes various statistics relevant for calculating net wealth. These figures are influenced by real estate prices, equity market prices, exchange rates, liabilities, debts, adult percentage of the population, human resources, natural resources and capital and technological advancements, which may create new assets or render others worthless in the future.

In nations where wealth is highly concentrated in a small percentage of people (a higher Gini  % in the tables below), the mean (obtained by dividing the total aggregate wealth by the number of adults) can be much higher than the median (the amount that divides the population into two equal groups).

Gini: Higher Gini coefficients signify greater inequality in wealth distribution. A Gini coefficient of 0 reflects perfect wealth equality, where all wealth values are the same, while a Gini coefficient of 1 (or 100%) reflects maximal wealth inequality, a situation where a single individual has all the wealth while all others have none.
